Bill Belichick reportedly had a second round of talks with North Carolina as speculation mounts over the legendary coach’s future.
The 72-year-old has not been on the sidelines since he and New England parted ways in January after 24 seasons.
However, earlier this week, shocking reports revealed that Belichick had spoken to the University of North Carolina about becoming the school’s head coach.
Belichick has never coached at the college level, but it was reported Friday that the 72-year-old met with school officials in Manhattan for a second interview.
CBS Sports reports thisBelichick held renewed talks with the school on Thursday, the same day he appeared on the red carpet with his 24-year-old girlfriend at the American Museum of Natural History gala in New York.
The event included a performance by Arcade Fire and appearances by Scarlett Johansson and Alec Baldwin.

The Tar Heels have been one of the teams linked with a move for Belichick since he left the Patriots. CBS claims the 72-year-old is ‘open’ to opportunities.
ESPN, meanwhile, reports that Belichick has ‘seriously considered’ the North Carolina job — even though his appointment remains “unlikely.”
Belichick won six Super Bowls as head coach of the Patriots and reportedly blew UNC officials away when they spoke.
The Tar Heels, who went 6-6 this season, recently fired Mack Brown, who had won more games than any other UNC head coach.
Since leaving the Patriots, Belichick has worked as an analyst for “The Pat McAfee Show,” “ManningCast” and “Inside the NFL,” among others.
