Coaching Career
In 1942, Belichick joined the United States Navy, serving in both Europe and the Pacific. He returned to football when he completed his service, becoming the head coach at Hiram College. In 1949, he left Hiram to become the backfield coach at Vanderbilt University, where he spent two seasons before joining the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as an assistant to George Barclay in 1953. In 1956, Belichick joined the United States Naval Academy, where he served, primarily as a scout, for over 30 years. His book Football Scouting Methods (Ronald Press, 1962) became a standard, described by Charley Casserly as the best book on the subject he had read.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
