- He acknowledged players and recruits have asked about the speculation, saying he has “been down this road before” and remains committed to his team this week.
- The Giants’ job opened Monday when Brian Daboll was fired; there has been no public indication of talks or a hire.
- Belichick is in his first season at UNC at 4-5 after back-to-back wins, with a reported five-year, $50 million deal and a $1 million buyout if he departs.
