During an interview with the long -standing sports view Dan Patrick, Barkley described Belichick as one of his “really good friends.”
“Well, this is a very smooth topic for me because Bill is one of my really good friends,” Barkley told Patrick. “I don’t – I’m not sure what’s going on. You know he’s been a good friend to me for a long time. We’ve been friends since he coached for Browns. I think he’s going to be very careful right now. This is starting to be on a very smooth slope.”

Barkley also warned that he typically avoids pubic to tackle personal relationships. But he raised concerns about “some of the things” happening between Belichick and Hudson, saying it could make him come into contact with North Carolina football header.

“He’s the Greatest Football Coach Ever. Him and Nick Saban. For College, Nick Saban. For Bill, The Nfl. Yeah, From What I’m Hearing, Its Starting To Be A Very Slippery Slope. And I Never Talk About People’s Personal Relationship. LITTLE CONCERNED WITH SOME OF THE STUFF THAT’S GOING ON, AND I MAY ACTUALLY REACH OUT TO HIM AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING’S GOOD, BUT I AM CONCERNED FROM WHAT I’m Hearing, because, yes, it’s not a good look right now.
A question during the recent interview with CBS about how Belichick and Hudson originally met quickly turned heads. “We’re not talking about this,” Hudson said before Belichick replied.
After the interview, Belichick claimed that some interview changes were not maintained.

“I clearly communicated with my publicist at Simon & Schuster that all promotional interviews I attended would accept focusing solely on the contents of the book,” read a statement from Belichick. “Unfortunately, this expectation was not honored during the interview.”
The six-time Super Bowl-winning coach also aimed at CBS ‘Tony Dokoupil and accused him of raising “non-related topics” as Belichick claimed caused Hudson to speak during the interview.
“I repeatedly expressed to the reporter, Tony Dokupil and the producers, whom I preferred to keep the conversation centered on the book,” the statement added. “After this happened several times, Jordon, which I share both a personal and professional relationship, stepped in to repeat this point to help focus the discussion again.”
“She did not derive any specific question or topic, but just did her job to make sure the interview remained on track.”
Hudson has also been shown to have a hand in Belichick’s career. She faces criticism of her reported commitment to North Carolina, who lost the opportunity to appear on HBO’s “Hard Banks.” According to the athletic, Hudson had a “instrumental role” in HBO that connected the plug of the potential production of the undeveloped documents.
The report also noted that Hudson had asked to be “heavily involved in the project.”
Belichick, 73, has been publicly linked to 24-year-old Hudson since 2023. He said he met Hudson on a flight in 2021.
