Bill Belichick confirmed to reporters on Saturday night that he did ban a Patriots scout from attending football practices at North Carolina earlier this summer.
The longtime Patriots head coach and current UNC football coach didn’t mince words after the Tar Heels’ 20-3 win over UNC Charlotte when asked as to why he didn’t allow personnel from his former team to scout his players.
“It’s clear that I’m not welcome there around their facility, so they’re not welcome at ours,” Belichick said. “Pretty simple.”
Belichick’s comments stand as the latest development in what developed into a fractured relationship between the future Hall of Famer and the team he helped lead to six Super Bowl titles.
