Bill Belichick says he has 'not and will not' pursue NFL jobs, reaffirms UNC focus

North Carolina coach Bill Belichick said Friday he will not pursue any NFL head coaching vacancies after his name surfaced in connection with the vacant New York Giants job.

After the Giants fired Brian Daboll on Monday, Belichick became the subject of speculation around the opening. In a statement posted on Instagram, Belichick said, "Despite circulating rumors, I have not and will not pursue any NFL head coaching vacancies."

Before coming to college coaching, Belichick spent his entire career in the NFL -- winning six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots.
