Before coming to college coaching, Belichick spent his entire career in the NFL -- winning six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots."
""I have great respect and genuinely care for the New York Giants organization and both the Mara and Tisch families. The New York Giants played an important role in my life and in my coaching journey. It was a privilege for me to work for the Mara family and be a member of Coach Parcells' staff for over a decade.""
"He was asked during his press conference Tuesday about the speculation concerning the Giants and he reiterated he was focused on Saturday's game against Wake Forest. "We have tremendous support from the university, our alumni, and the entire Carolina community. My focus remains solely on continuing to improve this team, develop our players and build a program that makes Tar Heel fans proud," Belichick said."
