Shortly after Daboll was fired as the Giants’ head coach on Monday, Belichick was quickly speculated to be a top candidate for the job.

Belichick would surely retire before walking off the campus in Chapel Hill to return to any NFL field. He would also say, "My focus remains solely on continuing to improve this team, develop our players and build a program that makes Tar Heel fans proud," Belichick said. "We're on to Wake Forest."
