Bill Belichick hasn't been the head coach of the University of North Carolina Tar Heels for even a month and already rumors are going around about NFL teams checking to see if the coach would be interested at all in making a move back to the professional ranks.

On Wednesday, one day after the Raiders parted ways with Antonio Pierce following his first full season as the team’s head coach, NFL.com reported Tom Brady — now a minority owner of the Las Vegas franchise — had spoken “recently” with Belichick “about what it would take to make a reunion happen.”

North Carolina coach Bill Belichick had high praise for newly-hired New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, when appearing on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday. The Patriots hired Vrabel as their head coach on Sunday, a full week after firing Jerod Mayo.

Bill Belichick’s UNC deal is unofficially official. The former Patriots coach has yet to sign the five-year contract he agreed to last month to be UNC’s next head coach, CBS Sports reported on Tuesday.

Speaking on the "Pat McAfee Show," Bill Belichick offered up a ringing endorsement for Mike Vrabel as Patriots head coach.

"Pictured: two people who are overtly committed to @uncfootball." The post Bill Belichick’s girlfriend shuts down rumors of ex-Patriots coach leaving UNC appeared first on Boston.com.
