"Some of the reports out last week about my looking for a buyout and trying to leave here and all that is categorically false, Belichick said Monday during his first public comments since a blowout loss to Clemson. Glad I'm here. Working toward our goals and the process. Next up for the Tar Heels (2-3, 0-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) is Friday night's game at Cal (4-2, 1-1)."
"During the second of two off weeks in a three-week span, the subject of Belichick's status and future with the Tar Heels was a hot topic, so much so that last Wednesday the university released brief statements from the coach and athletics director Bubba Cunningham reaffirming commitments between Belichick and the school. It's a learning curve, Belichick said Monday. We're all in it together, but we're making a lot of progress."
Bill Belichick denied reports that he sought a buyout or was trying to leave his North Carolina coaching role, calling those claims categorically false and stating he is glad to be here. He affirmed focus on team goals, process and upcoming game at Cal. The university and athletics officials publicly reaffirmed commitments, and the program reported about 40 high school commitments for the next recruiting class. Media attention increased during extended off weeks, with higher turnout and senior administrators attending. Belichick acknowledged frustration over game results but emphasized progress in work, recruiting activity, and confidence the scoreboard will improve.
