After releasing a statement last week saying he is committed to continuing as North Carolina's head coach, Bill Belichick reiterated the sentiment during his press availability Monday.

A report from the Guardian last week said that Belichick, 73, expressed potential interest in finding a coaching or media job that could offset the $1 million buyout he would owe North Carolina if he leaves for another job.

'That's just categorically false,' Belichick told reporters in the team's first media availability following a bye last week. 'There's no truth to that. I'm glad I'm here.'

His words Monday echoed his statement Wednesday.

'I'm fully committed to UNC Football and the program we are building here,' read a statement on the Tar Heels' X account from Belichick.

Athletic director Bubba Cunningham added in a statement on the same social media post: 'Coach Belichick has the full support of the Department of Athletics and University.'

Belichick's first season coaching college football after winning eight Super Bowls (six as a head coach, two as a defensive coordinator) has been less than ideal.

The Tar Heels fell to 2-3 after a 38-10 home loss to Clemson on Oct. 4. North Carolina has lost all three of its games against Power 4 competition by a combined margin of 120-33. They are 0-1 in Atlantic Coast Conference play.

The team will travel to the West Coast this week to face Cal 4-1 (1-1 ACC) on Saturday at Berkeley, Calif.
