Lurking Jordon Hudson made things ‘weird' during our Bill Belichick interview: former NFL star
Former NFL player Channing Crowder said it was 'weird' to see North Carolina football coach Bill Belichick being managed by his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, during Belichick's appearance on 'The Pivot' podcast earlier this month.
Crowder, who co-hosts the show with former NFL players Fred Taylor and Ryan Clark, explained that Hudson 'choreographed the open' with Belichick, which aired on May 16 — and began with just Clark and Belichick discussing Hudson's role in his life and the discourse around his disastrous interview with 'CBS Sunday Morning' last month.
'He's all in if you talk football, but if you start talking personal stuff he starts doing the mumble and the one-word answers and his old lady is different,' Crowder, who starred as Dolphins pass-rusher from 2005-'10, said on his WQAM podcast with Marc Hochman 'Hochman and Crowder' last week.
'She lurks. It's weird to know him as Coach Belichick running the entire organization as GM, head coach, talent coordinator, all that stuff, and then to see this tiny little 95-pound girl pretty much telling him what to do.

'… She was there. She kind of coordinates and brand manages… She has her paws on the situation. It's different… it was weird to be around Belichick and Jordon. I don't see Belichick in that light. But he just smiles and nods.'
Crowder didn't elaborate further about Hudson apparently choreographing the opening of Belichick's interview on 'The Pivot' podcast.

The interview opened with Clark asking about the legendary coach calling Hudson his 'idea mill' and 'creative muse' in his new book, 'The Art of Winning,' which made the New York Times best-seller list.
Clark next asked Belichick if CBS had asked him about the inclusion of Hudson in his book, and he replied that they had, 'but that wasn't shown.'

Clark brought up how CBS aired Hudson interrupting the interview to stop Belichick from answering a question about how the couple met — and then Clark asked Belichick how he balances his personal life without it becoming a distraction.
Clark was the only one who spoke with Belichick about his personal life before the conversation shifted to football with Crowder and Taylor.
Belichick has been on a media tour to promote his book, while also doing damage control from the fallout of his interview with CBS.
Multiple reports have painted Hudson in a negative light, alleging that she's controlling his career in order to further her own.
Public records list Hudson as the manager of several companies including All BB Team LLC, Coach Show LLC and Chapel Bill LLC.
An investigation by former ESPN reporter Pablo Torre alleged Hudson was banned from UNC athletic facilities, which the university and Belichick denied in a joint statement.
Hudson denied Torre's allegations in a now-deleted fiery Instagram Story.
'Pablo Torre's 'findings' have been nothing short of factually incorrect, slanderous, defamatory and targeted,' Hudson wrote, as captured by TMZ before it was deleted.
Belichick has said publicly that Hudson, a former NCAA champion cheerleader at Bridgewater State University, has nothing to do with his football program at UNC — and that the athletic department has backed him through the media firestorm.
