"Since arriving in Chapel Hill," Belichick said, "my commitment to the UNC football program hasn't [wavered]." The Giants and Titans have coaching vacancies, notably with the Giants firing Brian Daboll earlier this week. Belichick was part of two Super Bowl titles with the Giants as defensive coordinator under Bill Parcells. Belichick, who shrugged off coaching rumors Tuesday after Daboll's firing, specifically mentioned the Giants in Friday's statement.
