It’s been wondered if Bill Belichick would have a short tenure at North Carolina in order to eventually to return to the NFL, but that has since having been discussed less amidst a 4-7 record with the Tar Heels. But, according to reporting this morning, there could still be some interest in him returning to the National Football League.
Per sources speaking to Josina Anderson, at least two, or even as many as three, teams in the league would be interested in speaking with Belichick. There could be more complications to that as far as him being an actual candidate anywhere, but it’s of note with two openings already in the NFL.
“NEW: I’m told “at least two NFL teams” are still* expected to have interest in talking to Bill Belichick, behind-the-scenes* at the very least, about head coach jobs this carousel season, per a league source. A third team could also enter the mix, with desires to talk, particularly if one specific personnel change is made under ownership, the source added,” Anderson tweeted this morning. “Side note: There’s more to the story of why Belichick did not end up head coaching another NFL team a couple seasons ago–with his own desires & preferences regarding workplace dynamics playing more into a part of it, than I think has been discussed, publicly known, or given real credence. At any rate, Belichick still has deep respect from a number of owners across the league, and that is what matters.”
