Bill Belichick contacted Bryce Baker on Thursday night, just hours after the six-time Super Bowl champion head coach's introductory presser in Chapel Hill.

North Carolina made the first move in the coaching carousel among Power Four teams when it fired Mack Brown in late November. The Tar Heels also made the biggest splash by replacing him with legendary NFL head coach Bill Belichick.
