After displaying a well-known hatred towards the Jets over the years—and also going 39–13 against them during his NFL career—Bill Belichick recently called New York about its vacant head coaching job. According to CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones, Belichick himself called the team "to gauge interest" and was told they were just starting their search.

Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick accepted the head coaching job at North Carolina on Wednesday, but he did have his eyes on NFL openings before joining the Tar Heels.
