“And so that we are distracted by something that has no impact, which has no relevance, it is a complete lie, in terms of what people say or what they write. It is comic. And, for me, to really attack anyone who says it, gives it credibility. What I do not do, because it is a completely false story.”
Lombardi highlighted the success that the program made sure that this offseason avoids “noise”.
“And the noise comes from a direction of people who try to disturb our program. We are not going to allow it. We are not going to recognize it. We are going to move on,” said Lombardi.

“And, look, let’s face it, the proof is in pudding. We have a great recruitment lesson. We had a huge portal, and we will continue to improve every day.”
Lombardi said that when the interview was released for the first time, there was no concern. He said that his concern comes from the North Carolina football calendar, not from Belichick-Hudson’s drama.
“Everyone looked at each other and was as in a great amazement. I mean, so we had no reason to bypass the wagons. The reason we had been to focus on what we are going to do, as Bill said in many interviews – and I don’t want to talk to the coach Belichick – but he said:” Look, Jordon does stuff in his business North, not here “. I mean, it’s just a story that has been generated – basically, invented,” said Lombardi.

“I mean, it’s great, you know, you might be a great novelist, some of the people who bring back these kinds of things. So we did not have, there is no reason to get around wagons. Look, when we play in Clemson, we will have to surround the wagons. But we play noise.”
The start of Belichick coach with North Carolina will come against TCU on September 1 at 8 p.m. he.
