One of his sons was coaching for him, they are clearly very close. Unsure of the others.
Bellichek retired from the Pats at the end of this past season. Instead of prepping for the next season, he is now adrift.
It's not clear to me if his sons kept their nepo-jobs with the Patriots organization.
This really does feel like some sort of late-life crisis. He's completely out of his routine for the past 30+ years. He doesn't seem completely with it....look at this quote on Wikipedia:
After mutually parting ways with the Patriots in 2024, Belichick, while still declaring himself an active head coach, (ed. note - HUH?
) officially agreed to appear every Monday afternoon during the 2024 NFL season with ESPN's The Pat McAfee Show, first appearing as an analyst on the show during its "5th Annual Draft Spectacular", covering the 2024 NFL draft, following a guest appearance weeks prior.[157][158]
"I can't tell you the advantage to having a defensive coach to take the quarterback behind the ropes on that defense, it made me a better quarterback, so Bill's gonna do that. I think the audience is going to be fascinated at how smart he is. Look, you guys saw how witty he is. I watched the Draft show you guys did; it was awesome. He's quick-witted, he's funny and like I said, he's brilliant when it comes to defense and offense, the guy can flat-out coach."[159]
–Peyton Manning on Belichick as an analyst, May 2024
Peyton Manning revealed during the Netflix special The Roast of Tom Brady that Belichick would join another ESPN program, joining the Manning brothers (Peyton and Eli) in the Manningcast, an alternate live television broadcast of Monday Night Football.[160] A week afterward, Manning stated during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show that Belichick would appear on every Manningcast broadcast during the 2024 season
One of the greatest coaches of all time....and he's doing podcast and guest appearances on various shows? It's just bizarro. It's almost as if he's radioactive.
