After a legendary NFL run, Bill Belichick enters college football for the first time, taking over as the coach at North Carolina. That means the 72-year-old will be tasked with recruiting high school prospects for the first time.

Welcome to the Thursday edition of the Pick Six newsletter! I thought we were only going to talk about the NFL playoffs in today's newsletter, but then Jonathan Jones had to go and drop a bombshell this morning.

With all the rumors swirling, Belichick's girlfriend, 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, took to Instagram to clear things up. Hudson captioned a picture of the couple against a UNC blue background "Pictured: two people who are overtly committed to @uncfootball ," which many took as a sign that there was no chance of Belichick jumping ship.

Per CBS Sports: “Sources tell CBS Sports — and UNC confirmed this week — that there is no fully-executed and signed contract between Belichick and UNC. And industry sources say that could lead to a legal gray area about how much, if any, of a buyout there would be if Belichick left for the pros.”

Bill Belichick has been busy on the recruiting trail for UNC, but that hasn’t stopped reports from surfacing about a possible return to the NFL before he even steps onto the Chapel Hill sidelines.

Bill Belichick’s UNC deal is unofficially official. The former Patriots coach has yet to sign the five-year contract he agreed to last month to be UNC’s next head coach, CBS Sports reported on Tuesday.

"Pictured: two people who are overtly committed to @uncfootball." The post Bill Belichick’s girlfriend shuts down rumors of ex-Patriots coach leaving UNC appeared first on Boston.com.

Belichick has routinely been named as a potential head-coaching candidate for the Las Vegas Raiders due to his close relationship with Raiders minority owner Tom Brady.
