Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and former Fresno State head football coach Pat Hill are good friends.
Belichick has two former Bulldogs on his roster: offensive linemen Logan Mankins and Ryan Wendell, and had safety James Sanders in New England as well.
Hill has told me Belichick has offered him a job with the Patriots in the past.
Could that happen again now that Hill is a free agent, so to speak?
Belichick talked about Hill at his news conference Friday.
BILL BELICHICK: I think he’s always done a really good job with whatever he’s been involved with whether it’s coaching offensive line or some of the things he did for me in Cleveland with personnel and tight ends – as a head coach he’s had a tremendous career, and he’s done a great job with developing players and I think he’s made a huge impact in the Fresno community.
