Other reports repeated the news and said the same thing — that Belichick is expected to be hired by Washington.
The Huskies have a new head coach in Jedd Fisch, who left Arizona to take over at Washington. Washington needed a replacement after Kalen DeBoer left to take the Alabama job.
Belichick, 36, has been with the Patriots since 2012. He began as a defensive assistant with the team and had served as the outside linebackers coach since 2020. He took over as the defensive playcaller after Brian Flores left the team to coach the Dolphins prior to the 2019 season.
