Bill Belichick may not be a Pro Football Hall of Famer, but he is still a college coach in the midst of a busy recruiting season.

The North Carolina Tar Heels coach surfaced on the recruiting trail Wednesday for the first time since his Hall-of-Fame snub was leaked to ESPN.

‘Thank you Coach [Belichick] and [UNC football general manager Michael Lombardi] for coming by today!!!’ edge rusher Mekai Brown wrote on X.

Brown’s post included a photo of himself with the smiling Belichick, who inherited an unremarkable roster in Chapel Hill last season en route to a 4-8 finish in his first season as a college coach.

Now Belichick is trying to quickly revamp the Tar Heels with talented young players like Brown, a four-star recruit out of Greenwich, Connecticut.

Next season, Belichick’s Tar Heels will welcome the No. 17 recruiting class in the country, as rated by 247Sports.com. The biggest name may be Loganville, Georgia quarterback Travis Burgess, who also got a four-star grade out of five from 247Sports.com.

Bill Belichick responded to the Hall-of-Fame snub by hitting the recruiting trail and visiting Mekai Brown, an edge rusher currently going to high school in Greenwich, Connecticut

Brown also met with another former NFL coach, Rutgers’ Greg Schiano, this week.

While Belichick plugs away on the recruiting trail, there is continued uproar over his failure to secure induction into Canton on his first Hall-of-Fame ballot.

President Donald Trump, legendary Giants pass rusher Lawrence Taylor, Patriots owner Robert Kraft and even Tom Brady have joined in the chorus condemnation for the 50-person selection committee.

Together with Kraft and legendary quarterback Brady, Belichick built a dynasty in New England. They won six Super Bowls together and on Wednesday, Brady said he ‘can’t understand’ his omission.

‘I was with him every day – if he is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, there’s really no coach that should ever be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, which is completely ridiculous because people deserve it,’ he told Seattle Sports.

‘He’s incredible. There’s no coach I’d rather play for: if I’m picking one coach to go and win a Super Bowl [and you] gimme one season, I’m taking Bill Belichick. That’s enough said.

‘Outside of that, when it comes down to votes, popularity and all that, well then welcome to the world of voting.’
