Bill Belichick has interviewed with North Carolina officials about the Tar Heels’ head-coach opening, sources confirmed to ESPN’s Chris Low on Thursday.

Belichick, 72, has been out of football since leaving the New England Patriots after 24 seasons and six titles in January.

He interviewed for several NFL head-coaching jobs last offseason. This season, while not coaching, he’s joined the media in covering the NFL, including a role as an analyst for the CW’s “Inside the NFL,” joining the Manning brothers for their “ManningCast” during ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” and with a weekly spot on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

North Carolina is looking to find a replacement for Mack Brown, who won’t return to the team.

Inside Carolina first reported that Belichick had interviewed with UNC for the job.
