Bill's Surprising Job Hunt: Did He Reach Out to the Jets?

Just a few days after Bill Belichick was named the new head coach at North Carolina, a surprising revelation emerged. He reportedly contacted the New York Jets about their coaching vacancy. This news is quite amusing, considering Belichick's history with the Jets. He famously quit as their coach back in 2000, leaving a note on a napkin saying, "I resign as HC of the NYJ. "

Belichick's reason for quitting? He didn't want to work under Woody Johnson. Fast forward to Johnson firing coach Robert Saleh, creating the vacancy Belichick inquired about. Interestingly, Belichick had publicly criticized Johnson not long ago. On the ManningCast during a Bills-Jets game, he commented, "The Jets have won less than 30 percent of their games in the last decade. The owner just fires coaches left and right. " The timing of this news is intriguing. It seems Belichick might have wanted this story out there. Perhaps he's betting on Woody making another poor hire, leaving Jets fans wondering what could have been if Belichick had returned to a job he held for just a day.
