Belichick called defensive plays for the last 5 seasons, including 2019 when New England allowed the fewest points and yards in the league.

Now, moving to the college level, Belichick brings a lot of experience with him. He was a key part of the Patriots’ coaching staff and played a crucial role in shaping the team’s defensive strategies. Over the last five seasons, he even took charge of calling defensive plays. In 2019, the Patriots’ defense, led by Belichick, allowed the fewest points and yards in the entire league.
This move is a significant step for Belichick, and there are high expectations for him to make a positive impact on the University of Washington’s football program as their new defensive coordinator.
