Bill Belichick seemingly still drawing interest from NFL teams
Bill Belichick is reportedly still drawing NFL interest despite a brutal first season with the University of North Carolina and the headline-drawing relationship he’s in with 24-year-old Jordon Hudson.
The six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach has garnered interest from “at least two NFL teams,” per CBS Sports NFL insider Josina Anderson.
According to the report, the unnamed teams will speak with Belichick “at least” behind the scenes during the head coaching job carousel this year and a “third team could also enter the mix” if there is a personnel change made by ownership.
Anderson also hinted there was more that transpired with Belichick after the Patriots parted ways with him in 2024.
“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,” she wrote on X.
“At any rate, Belichick still has deep respect from a number of owners across the league, and that is what matters.”
Belichick has 29 years of NFL head coaching experience, which includes 24 years at the helm in New England, guiding the team to six Super Bowl titles and 333 wins.
NFL teams were less inclined to line up for Belichick’s services following his departure from the Patriots and he eventually landed at North Carolina in December 2024.
His first season with the program has been overshadowed by headlines revolving around his relationship with Hudson, which has recently included a whirlwind social media back-and-forth she’s engaged in with investigative journalist Pablo Torre.
The Post also broke the story that Belichick’s daughter-in-law, Jen, had gone into a tirade in the coach’s office after a Nov. 8 game over Hudson, calling her “bats–t crazy” and that Hudson was “f–king twisting” Bill’s brain.”
On the field, Belichick has led the Tar Heels to a 4-7 record and the program will fail to qualify for any bowl games this year.
Belichick also had to shoot down rumors that he was trying to leave Chapel Hill and denied any interest in the Giants job.
“I’ve been down this road before,” Belichick said at the time. “I’m focused on Wake Forest. That’s it, and that’s my commitment to this team. And next week, it’ll be to our next opponent, and so forth. I’m here to do the best I can for this team.”
