Bill Belichick is without a coaching job for the first time since 1974, and son Steve Belichick isn't letting him forget about it.

Steve, who was hired as Washington's new defensive coordinator in February, roasted the elder Belichick over his unemployment status Wednesday while discussing the differences between the two of them.

Bill parted ways with the New England Patriots in January after a 24-year tenure as head coach, during which he led the team to six Super Bowl championships and nine AFC titles.

Steve served on his father's coaching staff in New England from 2012-23 as a defensive assistant, safeties coach, secondary coach, and most recently outside linebacker coach.

The elder Belichick interviewed for the Atlanta Falcons' head coaching vacancy but was passed over in favor of Raheem Morris. He's now reportedly being pursued by Peyton Manning's entertainment company, Omaha Productions, and ESPN.
