UNC Head Coach Bill Belichick Linked To High-Profile NFL Job
Just when you thought the NFL coaching carousel couldn’t get any wilder, a ghost from the Giants’ past might be plotting a dramatic return. Bill Belichick, the man in the cutoff hoodie, is apparently getting tired of the college life down at UNC and has his eyes on a familiar prize: a Super Bowl with the New York Giants.
And get this—it’s not just about adding another ring to his collection. According to long-time NFL insider Gary Myers, this move is dripping with sweet, sweet spite.
Belichick’s Ultimate Revenge Tour?
Let’s be real, the “who made who” debate between Belichick and Tom Brady will rage on until the end of time. Brady, now comfortably perched in his $375 million FOX Sports broadcast booth, often gets the lion’s share of the credit for the Patriots’ six-championship dynasty. What better way for Belichick to stick it to his old quarterback than to win a Super Bowl without him? And doing it with the very team that twice shattered Brady’s perfect seasons? You can’t script this stuff. It’s a level of pettiness we can all respect.
Myers, speaking on the “Valentine’s Views” podcast, didn’t mince words. “I think it’s something Belichick very much wants to do,” he said. “Win a Super Bowl without Brady.”
It seems the fire still burns hot in the 73-year-old’s belly. He’s just 14 wins shy of Don Shula’s all-time record, a milestone he’d surely love to clinch. But a championship with the Giants would be the ultimate mic drop, a final, definitive statement in the GOAT debate.
A Blue Homecoming For Belichick
The connection between Belichick and the Giants runs deep. This isn’t just another coaching gig; it’s a homecoming. He spent 12 years with the organization, rising from a special teams assistant to the defensive mastermind behind two Super Bowl-winning defenses under Bill Parcells.
“He loves the Giants. I mean he LOVES the Giants,” Myers said. “He gets emotional and melancholy reminiscing about his Giant years.”
That emotional tie, combined with his reported good relationship with Owner John Mara, makes this more than just a far-fetched rumor. With the Giants struggling under Brian Daboll, the door seems to be creaking open. Sure, Mara and Steve Tisch would have to weigh the pros and cons. Do they bring in a legend who might only stick around for three years? Do they worry about how things ended in New England? Or do they look at the field of candidates and ask themselves, “Who gives us the best shot to win a Super Bowl?”
The answer seems pretty obvious. If you have a chance to get the greatest coach of all time, you take it. Even if it’s just for a short, glorious, spite-fueled ride. The buyout from his UNC contract is a pittance in the NFL world. The real question is whether the Giants are ready to make a move that would shake the league to its core.
For now, Belichick is busy getting his first ACC win with the Tar Heels. But don’t be surprised if his heart, and his game plan, are already back in East Rutherford.
