Bill Belichick says ‘it’s really special’ to see son every day at work
Steve Belichick is a Patriots assistant
Patriots coach Bill Belichick touched on a personal topic at Tuesday’s press conference.
Following New England’s first day of mandatory minicamp, Belichick was asked what it means to have his son Steve on the Patriots’ staff.
“It’s really special,” Belichick told reporters. “It’s special to be able to come in every day and see him. There were certainly a lot of days I wasn’t there when they were at school. I was doing my thing, and they were doing theirs, so it’s great to be able to see him every day.”
Steve Belichick was hired by the Patriots in 2012, and was promoted to safeties coach in March. Following his promotion, Steve spoke to the media about his relationship with his father.
“Obviously, I love my dad, he’s my role model, my idol,” Steve said in May. “I want to be just like him. I have since I knew what ‘idol’ was. It’s rewarding for me to be able to see him more, and learn from him more, because I’ve been away from him for high school and college. On a day-to-day basis, I get to learn more.”
