North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Bill Belichick confirmed reports that New England Patriots staff members were barred from the football program.
Belichick was the head coach of the Patriots for 24 seasons, winning six Super Bowls. However, they missed the playoffs in each of the final three years of his tenure after Tom Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
However, multiple reports indicated that North Carolina’s general manager Michael Lombardi and pro liaison Frantzy Jourdain informed their own team last month that the scouts were banned.
Belichick addressed the situation after he picked up the first collegiate win of his career.
“It’s clear I’m not welcome there around their facility,” he told reporters, via the Tar Heel Tribune
