Amid a 4-7 2025 NCAA season, Bill Belichick remains a popular topic in the NFL. Belichick’s last season was in 2024. The New England Patriots parted ways with one of the catalysts of their dynasty at the end of that season.
After taking a surprise offer to coach the North Carolina Tar Heels in college football, Belichick has been mentioned as a potential candidate to take over a franchise.

On Tuesday, senior insider Josina Anderson reported that at least two teams are keeping tabs on Belichick.
“I’m told ‘at least two NFL teams’ are still* expected to have interest in talking to Bill Belichick, behind-the-scenes* at the very least, about head coach jobs this Carousel season, per a league source,” Anderson tweeted.
“‘A third team could also enter the mix,’ with desires to talk, particularly if one specific personnel change is made under ownership, the source added.”

Anderson added that Belichick didn’t get a job immediately after leaving the Patriots because of his desires and workplace preferences. The Atlanta Falcons were the only team that interviewed Belichick during that carousel. They ended up signing Raheem Morris.
The New York Giants have been mentioned as a potential landing spot for Belichick, too. He has a long history with the NFC East franchise. He won two Super Bowls with the “Big Blue,” including one that resulted in his defensive game plan being displayed in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The names of the teams interested in Belichick remain a mystery, but there are several coaches on the hot seat at this moment. It’s highly likely he won’t miss opportunities.
