Belichick: Weis return not on 'front burner'
Coach Bill Belichick said that Charlie Weis's potential return to the New England Patriots as their offensive coordinator is not "on the front burner at all."
"Right now my focus is on the Miami Dolphins, and getting ready to go down there and play a tough division game on the road," Belichick said during a conference call with reporters Tuesday, according to the Boston Herald. "That's where I'm at right now. There are going to be situations like that--there have been every year--where things happen on other teams and on other coaching staffs or player rumors and so forth. Anything along that nature is something that would be addressed at a later point in time. It's not anything that is on the front burner at all."
The Patriots currently are without an offensive coordinator. Speculation has linked Weis, just fired as the head coach at Notre Dame, to potential offensive coordinator jobs with the Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts.
"Well, I'm disappointed for Charlie and his family and all the people they took out there with them," Belichick said Tuesday, according to the Herald. "Of course, I go back a long way with Charlie and we have a good friendship. I talk to him on a pretty regular basis, so I'm disappointed for him on that level."
