Bill Bellichick is one of the most skilled football coach in history. However, the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach has largely taken a back seat for his much-discussed romance with Jordon Hudson.
Hudson, Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend, was accused of trying to assert his control during the former NFL coach’s sitting down with “CBS News Sunday Morning” in late April.
The interview was part of a promotional tour of Belichick’s new book, “The Art of Winning: Lessons From My Life in Football.”

Belichick was introduced as the next head coach of North Carolina in December.
Taking Heels footballers insist that the coach’s personal life has not disturbed the team in any way. Belichick described the increased attention to his personal life as “just noise.”
“Sometimes it’s noisy, and sometimes it’s not,” Belichick told ESPN. “Sometimes with the patriots it was also noisy.”

North Carolina Brede receives Jordan Shipp made it clear that any external “noise” has not negatively affected the team. From Shipp’s point of view, Hudson has not been too involved in Belichick’s coaching process.

“Social media can promote some story, but it wasn’t a distraction for us at all,” Shipp said. “There was never a problem that people who said she was running practice. We would never really see her in the building. It was never a problem.”

Shipp also pointed out that former UNC head coach Mack Brown’s wife would routinely have breakfast with the recipient at the team’s facility.
“I don’t think Jordon had lunch with anyone,” Belichick said.
UNC -quarterback Gio Lopez also shared his thoughts on the subject, which suggested that Hudson is more visible on the Internet than she is on the team complex. Lopez also characterized Belichick as a “normal coach.”
“I log on to my phone and see something about trainer Belichick, so of course it’s different,” Lopez said. “But you would never believe it about him. He is a normal guy, a normal trainer. That’s how he carries himself. He is very nacn, not worried about the limelight. He just does his job.”
Tar Heels ended last season with a 6-6 season record. North Carolina opens the campaign in 2025 against TCU September 1st. Belichick said the first game of the season is where his focus remains.
