There's reportedly still an exit strategy for the eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach if the NFL comes calling at the last minute.

Two-year Washington Huskies standout Thaddeus Dixon is committed to first-year UNC football head coach Bill Belichick and the Tar Heels. The 6-foot-1, 186-pound cornerback revealed his decision to take his talents to Chapel Hill on Saturday afternoon and has one year of eligibility remaining.

After adding multiple former NFL assistants and personnel, Belichick has reportedly elected to stay in college football with his pick for linebackers coach. According to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, longtime assistant Bob Diaco is expected to serve in the role.
