Amid rumors about his contract situation with the University of North Carolina, Tar Heels head coach Bill Belichick spent Thursday traveling around the DMV recruiting.

The 6-time Super Bowl winning head coach stopped in at DeMatha Catholic High School (Maryland) and met High School On SI's Maryland Coach of the Year Bill McGregor.
