Belichick highlighted that the possibility of the Jacksonville Jaguars relocating to London and Wembley had been explored in the past, but they ultimately stayed put and built their own new stadium in Florida.<\/p>\n
He did, however, believe the travel involved would not stop a franchise being developed in Europe.<\/p>\n
“It would certainly be a little bit of an adjustment coming here, but it’s not a whole lot different than coming from the east coast to the west coast in the USA,” Belichick added.<\/p>\n
“Time-wise it’s a long trip, but going from New York or Boston or Philly to LA or Seattle, it’s about the same.”<\/p>\n
After 23 years in the NFL, Belichick said it was “important” for him to give back to the sport that “has been good to me and my family”.<\/p>\n
“American football is a great game, fans around the world love it. <\/p>\n
“There’s not a lot of it being played outside of the US, but I know when I visited places like Croatia or Germany there are a lot of local teams who play in their own leagues.<\/p>\n
“It’s super-popular. Anything I can do to give back to the game, whether that is in our country or internationally, I want to be part of that and I want to do it.”<\/p>\n
When asked if he would ever return to the NFL in a coaching capacity, Belichick said his full focus was on North Carolina.<\/p>\n
“I recruited these kids and I want to help them,” he added.<\/p>\n
“I had a great experience in the NFL but I’m very happy to be at North Carolina and I’m excited about the future of our programme.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
