This link suggests Belichick didn't get the Raiders job, not that he turned a HC job down.
Belichick relishes talks with Raiders owner after '98 season
Al Davis hired the wrong head coach in 1998
.
This article comes 13 years after the fact, and if the source is the Raiders front office, then of course they'd make it seem as though Belichick wasn't offered, but I remember 1998 clearly. The Raiders were salivating after Belichick, and they really wanted him. He was targeted long before the season was over.
