By all accounts, Bill Belichick enjoyed an idyllic childhood growing up in Annapolis.
His father was an associate professor of physical education at the Naval Academy and longtime assistant coach with the football program.
In fact, Steve Belichick became the longest-serving assistant in Navy football history — holding the title of special teams coach and advance scout from 1956 through 1989, a tenure that spanned seven head coaches.
