Bill Belichick is not only a legendary Super Bowl-winning coach, but also a father to three children: daughter Amanda and sons Steve and Brian, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Debby Clarke Belichick. After stepping down from his 24-year tenure as head coach of the New England Patriots, Bill was named head football coach at the University of North Carolina in December 2024. In his announcement, he expressed a long-held desire to coach in college, saying, “I look forward to building the football program in Chapel Hill.” While Bill’s own father advised against a coaching career, he has always encouraged his children to follow their passions. “Do what you want to do, live out your dreams,” he shared in a 2017 Patriots media session. His kids, all coaches in their own right, have followed their father’s advice, forging careers in sports on their terms.

Amanda Belichick

Amanda Belichick, Bill’s eldest child and only daughter, was born in 1984. She graduated from Wesleyan University in 2007 with a degree in history, according to her LinkedIn profile. Her coaching career began at her alma mater, where she served as a lacrosse coach before becoming the head coach of the women’s lacrosse team at the College of the Holy Cross in 2015. The fact that she is in coaching creates a pretty interesting and special dynamic for us,” Bill shared with the Hartford Courant in 2013. “We’ll be together, just catching up, and then the next thing we know we’re talking about our teams, our players, how to handle a variety of situations. So one minute it’s father-daughter, and the next minute it’s just two coaches doing what any two coaches would do — learn from each other, try to get better, and continue meeting our daily challenges in competition.”

Despite her family legacy, Amanda told Sports Illustrated in 2017 that she never intended to follow in her father’s footsteps. “And yet, somehow I kind of have,” she admitted. She has also credited her father as “a wonderful mentor,” as she told CBS News Boston. In a 2013 interview with ESPN, Amanda reflected on her coaching style, describing herself “as a smart player as opposed to a raw athlete. Growing up around sports and having that as a part of my life, I developed a skill and game sense that were kind of X factors and what I did well as a player,” she explained. As a coach, I think my vision and creativity, and being able to dissect defenses and create plans, are what I’d consider my strengths,” she added.

Steve Belichick

Stephen “Steve” Belichick is Bill Belichick’s older son and second child, born in March 1987, just two months after his father’s first Super Bowl win as defensive coordinator for the New York Giants. Steve attended Rutgers University, where he played lacrosse for four years. According to his biography on the Patriots’ website, Steve also walked on to the Rutgers football team as a long snapper, with the goal of preparing for a coaching career.

Steve joined the New England Patriots coaching staff in 2012 as a coaching assistant, and by 2016, he was promoted to safeties coach. In 2020, he shifted to coaching the outside linebackers. Bill reflected on their professional connection in 2016, telling NBC Sports, “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, so it’s great to be able to see him every day.”

Brian Belichick

Brian Belichick is the youngest of Bill’s three children. He graduated from Trinity College in 2016, where he studied anthropology and played lacrosse for the Bantams, according to his Patriots biography. That same year, Brian joined the Patriots as a scouting assistant and was promoted to coaching assistant in 2017, where he joined his older brother Steve on the coaching staff.

In a 2018 interview with The Providence Journal, Steve shared his thoughts on working alongside Brian. “It’s definitely been different,” Steve said. “It’s good to have him on the defensive staff and work with him every day.” He added that while they had spent time together before, being able to teach Brian more “relevant things” in coaching had been rewarding. Steve also praised his brother’s intellect, calling him “really smart” and an “analytical thinker.
