North Carolina coach Bill Belichick said he isn't pursuing any jobs as a head coach in the NFL.

North Carolina coach Bill Belichick said Friday he will not pursue any NFL head coaching vacancies after his name surfaced in connection with the vacant New York Giants job.

Winner of six Super Bowls as the New England Patriots head coach, Bill Belichick’s name continues to circulate with NFL head coaching searches.

Belichick would surely retire before walking off the campus in Chapel Hill to return to any NFL field. He would also say, "My focus remains solely on continuing to improve this team, develop our players and build a program that makes Tar Heel fans proud," Belichick said. "We're on to Wake Forest."

Former New England Patriots player Asante Samuel called out former coach Bill Belichick and girlfriend Jordon Hudson.

Football coach Bill Belichick, the university’s highest paid and most prominent employee, has picked a different logo for his sideline attire for several games this season. Belichick has been wearing a pullover with the stairstep UNC logo that the Tar Heels wore on their helmets from 1979 through 1987.

For only the third time in North Carolina program history, and the first such occasion in more than 25 years, the Tar Heels have reached a three-game portion of their football schedule that contains three straight matchups against their in-state ACC counterparts.

Bill Belichick does not want to leave any room for doubt about his interest in returning to the NFL. The North Carolina head coach was among those linked to the New York Giants after the team removed Brian Daboll from his post on Monday.
