North Carolina football general manager Michael Lombardi shut down recent rumors that NFL teams have reached out to Bill Belichick to try to get the Tar

After visiting the Tar Heels in early September, Rolesville High School (N.C.) junior edge rusher Zavion Griffin-Haynes committed to then-UNC football head coach Mack Brown. But soon after the program parted ways with the 73-year-old in late November, the 6-foot-6, 220-pound four-star backed out his pledge.

Bill Belichick walked to a podium, announced his resignation as the head coach of the New York Jets hours after taking the job — an announcement he scribbled on a napkin ahead of the conference — and left to take the same position with the New England Patriots.
