As the dust has settled with North Carolina’s marquee hire of Bill Belichick, the hall of fame coach and general manager Michael Lombardi have been particular when filling out the remainder of the staff. Amid NFL job openings and some contract confusion, the media has continued to question the legitimacy of Belichick’s commitment to the Tar Heels.
The consistent response from various outlets has refuted any possibility of Belichick having plans to leave (at least right now). That said, the excessive patience in hiring more of the staff certainly doesn't help his case. No report has offered much substance other than inviting clicks, but it would be comforting for some of these wrinkles to be ironed out as we head towards February.
