Merely put, Belichick teased the Jets for the second time in historical past to take one other job shortly after.
It could’ve been ironic and borderline comical to see Belichick now teaching the exact same staff he saved his foot down on for many years.
Additionally, Belichick by no means minced his phrases on the Jets, even calling out Woody Johnson on Monday Night time Soccer this season.
The legendary head coach will redefine “overqualified” throughout his time with the Tar Heels.
Some studies declare that NFL groups had been now not fascinated by his companies, which isn’t a lot of a shock, because the GM-HC determine is a dying breed within the league.
We are going to by no means know whether or not the Jets would have finally been fascinated by interviewing him.
