Washington to hire Steve Belichick as DC: Source
Former New England Patriots defensive play caller Steve Belichick is expected to become the new defensive coordinator for the Washington Huskies, a program source told The Athletic on Sunday. The 36-year-old son of Bill Belichick called the Patriots’ defense for the past four seasons. The younger Belichick has coached in New England since 2012 and worked with Jedd Fisch in 2020, when the new Washington head coach was the Patriots quarterbacks coach.
The recent success of former NFL assistants as college defensive coordinators makes the Belichick hire intriguing. In 2023, three of the top eight ranked defenses in FBS were coordinated by DCs who had come from the NFL. Michigan ranked No. 4 under former Ravens assistant Jesse Minter. Notre Dame was No. 5 under former Bengals assistant Al Golden, and UCLA was No. 8 under former Ravens assistant D’Anton Lynn.
Much of the new Washington staff came with Fisch from Arizona, where he’d led the Wildcats to a 10-win season in his third year turning around the U of A program. The entire offensive staff — OC/O-line coach Brennan Carroll, QB coach Jimmie Dougherty, tight ends coach/special teams coordinator Jordan Paopao, running backs coach Scottie Graham and wide receivers coach Kevin Cummings — followed from Tucson as did secondary coach John Richardson and defensive line coach Jason Kaufusi.
The addition of Belichick gives the Huskies the unique distinction of having the sons of Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick as UW’s two coordinators.
The Huskies played for the national title and went 25-3 the past two years under Kalen DeBoer but now have to replace all but two returning starters from last year’s Pac-12 champs as they move to the Big Ten.

A US Air Force helicopter made a precautionary landing in northwest Washington, DC late Monday, local media reported.
The incident occurred at approximately 9.25 p.m. (0125GMT Tuesday) when a UH-1N Huey helicopter assigned to the 1st Helicopter Squadron at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland landed along Foxhall Road near Whitehaven Parkway NW, close to the Georgetown Reservoir.
All four crew members who were on board are safe, according to media reports.
Maintenance personnel and law enforcement officials remained at the scene into the early hours of Tuesday as authorities assessed the aircraft and investigated the circumstances surrounding the landing.
See what a ‘super’ El Niño could bring
USA TODAY Network reporter Brandi D. Addison breaks down what a strong El Niño could mean for weather patterns across the country.
It may be the middle of July, but the Old Farmer’s Almanac is already looking ahead to the fall with cooler temperatures ahead.
The Almanac, which has been one of the most trusted weather prediction sources for more than two centuries, recently released its fall forecast, showing a wide range of weather throughout the United States.
But what about in the Washington DC region? Here’s what the Almanac says.
What is the fall weather forecast in the Washington DC area?
DC sits along the Almanac’s Atlantic Corridor, and that region should expect a “cool, dry” fall, according to the forecast.
“Expect cooler and wetter conditions than usual this fall,” the Old Farmer’s Almanac says. “Below average temperatures are forecast, along with an uptick in precipitation over traditional averages.”
Last year, DC received 6.53 inches of rain during September, October and November — significantly lower than the city’s 30-year average of 10.50 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
September’s average temperature was 72.2 degrees, with October at 60.3 and November at 49.9 degrees. The season had an average temperature of 60.8 degrees, slightly below the 30-year average of 61.0 degrees.
What does the Farmer’s Almanac say about winter in Washington DC?
In its long-range forecast, the Almanac forecasts above average temperatures this winter in DC with snowfall below normal.
“The coldest periods will occur in mid- to late-December and early and late January,” it says. “The snowiest periods will be in late December, early January, and late February.”
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says it is 80% accurate, but a 2017 University of Illinois study found it to be just 52% accurate.
