Belichick's Response Leaves Little to the Imagination: 'I'm Focused on Wake Forest'
Bill Belichick fielded a question about his interest in returning to the NFL, but it was clear from his response that he has no intention of revisiting his coaching days anytime soon. The eight-time Super Bowl winner told reporters at a UNC press conference that while he's been asked about the Giants' vacant head coaching job before, "Getting ready for Wake Forest, that's all I got this week."
It's hard to blame Belichick for keeping the focus on his current team and responsibilities. As the Tar Heels prepare to take on Wake Forest on Saturday, Belichick is committed to seeing the project through, just as he said in a recent interview with Boston.com. The longtime New England head coach is known for his straightforward approach, and it's clear that his priorities remain unchanged.
Belichick's ties to the Giants do go back to his time as an assistant coach under Bill Parcells. He helped direct a talented unit that won two Super Bowls with New York, but make no mistake: this isn't a job he's interested in returning to just yet. As he continues to lead UNC into the heart of the season, Belichick's focus remains squarely on the next opponent, rather than a potential return to the NFL coaching ranks.
