Bill Belichick’s debut season in the college ranks has not gone as planned. Despite an up-and-down season at North Carolina, though, Belichick says he is not looking to go back to the NFL.
The New York Giants dismissed Brian Daboll as head coach this week, and the rumor mill started linking Belichick to the job. The legendary former New England Patriots coach was a Giants assistant from 1979-90, working under Bill Parcells. Despite his deep ties to the organization, however, Belichick says he isn’t interested in the Giants job or any other NFL gig.
Belichick and UNC football shared a statement on the matter via social media.
“I have great respect and genuinely care for the New York Giants organization and both the Mara and Tisch families,” Belichick said in a posted statement. “The New York Giants played an important role in my life and in my coaching journey. It was a privilege for me to work for the Mara family and be a member of Coach Parcells’ staff for over a decade. However, despite circulating rumors, I have not and will not pursue any NFL head coaching vacancies.
“Since arriving in Chapel Hill, my commitment to the UNC Football program has not waivered. We have tremendous support from the university, our alumni, and the entire Carolina community. My focus remains solely on continuing to improve this team, develop our players, and build a program that makes Tar Heel fans proud.
“We’re on to Wake Forest.”

UNC was 2-5 going into the Syracuse game on Halloween but has turned things around, defeating the Orange 27-10 and making it back-to-back victories with a 20-15 win over Stanford in Week 11.
The on-field disappointments and off-field distractions and drama have led to numerous reports and rumors about Belichick’s Carolina tenure potentially coming to an early finish, but the NFL legend maintains that he is committed to Carolina football.
