Whether Bill Belichick will prematurely leave his new role as the head coach of the UNC Tar Heels for an NFL coaching job has been a point of discussion ever since the guru initially accepted the gig, thanks in large part to a contract buyout clause that suggests an eventual return to the league isn't off the table.
The coach has repeatedly insisted he has no plans to leave, but a Thursday report from CBS Sports just added new fuel to the speculatory fire. Per reporter Jonathan Jones, "there is not a fully executed and signed contract" between the coach and UNC, which could create a "legal gray area about how much, if any, of a buyout would exist if Belichick left."
