Several NFL teams remain without a head coach as they prepare for the upcoming season. It would be reasonable to assume these franchises would at least be interested in contacting a six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach.
However, Bill Belichick has not received much interest from teams. Reports indicate that Tom Brady attempted to recruit him to coach the Las Vegas Raiders, but with Belichick already committed to UNC, that scenario is no longer feasible.
When questioned about this, he appeared unfazed.
In a recent conversation with Jim Gray on his “Let’s Go!” podcast, Belichick stated that his sole focus is on the Tar Heels and their program’s development, leaving him little time to consider the actions of NFL teams (via Mad Dog Sports Radio).
Such a response embodies the classic demeanor of Bill Belichick.
Additionally, some sources have suggested that Belichick showed interest in coaching the Chicago Bears and New York Jets.
He reportedly would have also considered the Dallas Cowboys’ position if he had known it would be open.
It appears that Belichick’s primary desire is simply to coach, even if it means stepping away from the professional ranks.
Due to this mindset, he may have severed many connections, as few teams might be willing to appoint him as both general manager and head coach.
Nevertheless, it is not as though most teams were in a position to dismiss the possibility of bringing him on board.
