"Bill Belichick was either dialed into ESPN's "College GameDay" or he inadvertently made an awkward live television moment on Saturday morning. The UNC head coach apparently called analyst Kirk Herbstreit's cell phone during a "GameDay" segment discussing Belichick's first-year struggles at Chapel Hill. "Answer that," fellow "College GameDay" analyst Pat McAfee said as Herbstreit flashed him his phone. "He has to be watching right now. That's literally Bill Belichick calling Kirk Herbstreit. He probably has something to say." "I can't answer," Herbstreit replied with an awkward laugh."
"In fact, a report from The Read Optional's Ollie Connolly stated Belichick and UNC had mutually begun discussing possible buyout options, including a scenario where the head coach would trigger his own $1 million buyout if he could find another job. However, Belichick and UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham tried to cool down the rumors of a separation late Wednesday."
Bill Belichick seemingly called analyst Kirk Herbstreit's cellphone during ESPN's College GameDay, prompting Pat McAfee to urge Herbstreit to answer on live television. Herbstreit declined to answer and laughed awkwardly. The moment followed a turbulent week of rumors about Belichick's future at UNC after the Tar Heels dropped to 2-3 and absorbed their third loss of at least 25 points to Clemson. Reports detailed mutual discussions over possible buyout options and a scenario involving a $1 million buyout if Belichick found another job. Belichick and athletic director Bubba Cunningham issued statements expressing commitment and support, and Belichick said he loves coaching at the college level and plans to remain at North Carolina.
