Legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick shocked the football world when he accepted the head coaching job at the University of North Carolina last week. The 72-year-old was thought to be one of the more attractive options on the NFL coaching carousel this offseason, but we didn’t even make it to Christmas before he took a new position.
In early December it was reported that Belichick was “very surprised“He had not yet heard from NFL teams about their open positions (New York Jets, New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears). ESPN reported that Belichick considered the Bears’ position to be probably the best. more attractive openingbut he didn’t think he had a chance to get it. However, there was another team he approached.
According to CBS Sports NFL expert Jonathan Jones, there was contact between Belichick and the Jets. In fact, Belichick called the Jets to gauge their interest, but was told the team was just beginning its search. New York fired Robert Saleh following a Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London.
“Honest interest? Due diligence? Despair? Only the coach himself could truly say it,” Jones added on social media. “Good luck getting that answer.”
It certainly would have been a big deal if Belichick had been hired by the Jets for a third time to be their head coach, and it would have been fun to see “The Hoodie” return to the AFC East to face the New England Patriots twice a year. In the end, the future Football Hall of Famer decided he wasn’t going to wait for NFL teams to make a move. You are taking on a new challenge.
