Belichick, who was hired to be the head coach of the University of North Carolina football program less than a month ago, has "no plans" to return to the NFL, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini.
Bill Belichick has no plans to return to the NFL, per sources.
I’m told his sole focus is on coaching and recruiting for North Carolina, as he continues building the Tar Heels’ future. He’s recruiting today in New Jersey.

Reports came out on Wednesday that Tom Brady — a minority owner of the Raiders — has reached out to Belichick to gauge his interest in leaving UNC to make an NFL return.
According to NFL.com's Tom Pelissero, the future Hall of Fame quarterback "believes the situation in Las Vegas requires a coach of Belichick's expertise and stature to establish a sustainable winning program."
Pelissero added that an additional team has reached out to Belichick, too. The other five teams currently in need of a head coach are the New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears, and New England Patriots, Belichick's former team.
