The UNC Tar Heels Coaching Reunion: A New Family Dynasty in 2025
The most significant and current development in the Belichick family’s professional lives is the creation of a powerful, multi-generational coaching unit at the University of North Carolina. After his departure from the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick was officially hired as the UNC Tar Heels Head Coach in December 2024, a move that stunned the sports world and instantly elevated the program’s profile.
This move was quickly followed by his sons, Stephen and Brian, who left their long-held positions with the Patriots to join their father in Chapel Hill.
A Shift from NFL to Collegiate Football
For over two decades, the Belichick sons were deeply entrenched in the New England Patriots organization, working under their legendary father. Stephen "Steve" Belichick had climbed the ranks to become the de facto defensive play-caller, while Brian Belichick was a respected safeties coach.
Their simultaneous departure from the Patriots in 2025, following their father’s move, underscores a commitment not just to the family, but to a shared vision for building a new program. The trio is now tasked with implementing NFL-level systems and discipline within the collegiate framework, a massive undertaking for the UNC Tar Heels.
Bill Belichick’s first season as the UNC head coach in 2025 has been a primary focus of sports media, with analysts closely tracking how his NFL-centric approach translates to the ACC.
The presence of both sons on the defensive staff—Steve as Defensive Coordinator and Brian coaching the defensive backs—suggests a unified strategy to overhaul and strengthen the team's defense, a hallmark of Belichick's coaching philosophy.
Amanda Belichick: Forging Her Own Path in Lacrosse
While the men of the Belichick family are focused on the football field, Amanda Belichick has established an impressive and independent coaching career in women’s lacrosse, a sport that holds a special place in the family's history (both Steve and Bill himself have strong ties to the sport).
As the Head Women's Lacrosse Coach at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, Amanda has been lauded for her ability to build a successful program and for her own competitive spirit.
Success at Holy Cross Athletics
Amanda Belichick's leadership at Holy Cross has been marked by high academic accolades and competitive improvements in the Patriot League.
Her work demonstrates that the Belichick coaching gene extends beyond football and into other high-intensity collegiate sports. She is often praised for her dedication and for the fact that she has successfully carved out a high-profile career without relying on her father’s football fame, a testament to her own merit and coaching acumen.
The Belichick Coaching Tree: A Family Legacy
The term "Belichick Coaching Tree" traditionally refers to the long list of former assistants—like Nick Saban, Josh McDaniels, and others—who went on to become head coaches and front-office executives.
However, the 2025 season has redefined this concept, placing the family itself at the center of the legacy. The three children represent the next generation of the Belichick dynasty, each applying the lessons of discipline, preparation, and meticulous detail learned from their father.
The move to UNC for Bill, Steve, and Brian, and Amanda's continued success at Holy Cross, highlights a family deeply immersed in the world of high-stakes, competitive coaching. They are not merely Bill Belichick's children; they are established, professional coaches, each contributing to a collective family legacy that is now unfolding in real-time across the collegiate sports landscape. This new chapter at UNC and Holy Cross ensures the Belichick name will remain a dominant force in American athletics for years to come.
