UNC’s Belichick Drops Bombshell: Why NFL Giants Should Be Worried as He Sticks with Tar Heels
Bill Belichick isn’t looking back at the NFL job board just yet — at least, that’s what he made crystal clear this past Friday night. Despite the whirlwind around the league’s coaching carousel kicking off, the legendary coach, who steered the New England Patriots to an unprecedented six Super Bowl championships, is all in on his new college gig at UNC. At 73, Belichick’s heart seems set on building his program in Chapel Hill from the ground up, staying firm amid swirling rumors linking him to openings with teams like the New York Giants and Tennessee Titans. With his Tar Heels slowly gaining momentum and eyeing bowl eligibility, Belichick’s message is unmistakable: his focus stays put on developing this team and making loyal Tar Heel fans proud. If you want to dive deeper into this evolving story and get the full scoop,
North Carolina coach Bill Belichick said he isn’t pursuing any jobs as a head coach in the NFL.
In a statement posted on social media Friday night and coming amid the first changes of the current hiring cycle, the 73-year-old who led the NFL’s New England Patriots to six Super Bowl titles said he remains committed to building a program as a first-time college coach.

“Since arriving in Chapel Hill,” Belichick said, “my commitment to the UNC football program hasn’t (wavered).”
The New York Giants and Tennessee Titans have coaching vacancies, notably with the Giants firing Brian Daboll earlier this week. Belichick was part of two Super Bowl titles with the Giants as defensive coordinator under Bill Parcells.
Belichick, who shrugged off coaching rumors Tuesday after Daboll’s firing, specifically mentioned the Giants in Friday’s statement.
“It was a privilege for me to work for the Mara family and be a member of Coach Parcells’ staff for over a decade,” Belichick said. “However, despite circulating rumors, I have not and will not pursue any NFL head coaching vacancies.”

Belichick’s Tar Heels (4-5, 2-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) have won two straight games to inch closer to bowl eligibility, notably with a better defensive showing that has included racking up sacks.
UNC visits Wake Forest on Saturday, the first of three straight in-state ACC foes to end the regular-season schedule.
“My focus remains solely on continuing to improve this team, develop our players and build a program that makes Tar Heel fans proud,” Belichick said. “We’re on to Wake Forest.”
