Yesterday, the same day I finished David Halberstam's excellent biography of Bill Belichick, I was saddened to learn of the passing of Belichick's father, Steve. The elder Belichick, himself a former coach at the Naval Academy, was clearly (according to the book) a primary influence on his son's coaching career. He also acquitted himself quite well in some talk show appearances with his son following last year's Super Bowl win.
