It’s been almost two years since Bill Belichick last coached a game for the New England Patriots, on January 7, 2024. Both sides have moved on since. The Patriots are already on their second head coach after realizing former Belichick pupil Jerod Mayo wasn’t the solution. Now they’ve hired another one of Belichick’s former linebackers turned head coach, Mike Vrabel.
While Belichick has also moved on in some ways by accepting the North Carolina Tar Heels’ head coaching job, it’s clear he still has some hard feelings for the Patriots’ organization.
According to 3 & Out’s John Middlekauff, Belichick has now banned all Patriots scouts from attending UNC practices.
