Overview
- The New York Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll on Monday, creating a vacancy that immediately drew links to Bill Belichick.
- At a Tuesday news conference in Chapel Hill, Belichick answered questions with, “Getting ready for Wake Forest, that’s all I got this week.”
- He acknowledged players and recruits have asked about an NFL return and declined to rule anything out, stressing a week-to-week commitment to UNC.
- Belichick is in his first season at North Carolina at 4-5 after two straight wins and is on a five-year, $50 million contract with a reported $1 million buyout if he departs.
- Interest is fueled by his Giants ties as a two-time Super Bowl–winning defensive coordinator, with fans and some media speculating on his candidacy, including a claim by writer Gary Myers that he would take the job quickly.
