But in 2025, that's exactly where he's landed—and it's not because of a quarterback controversy or game-day call.

What was supposed to be Belichick's quiet reinvention in college football has instead turned into a circus—and Paul Finebaum nailed it on First Take: 'Bill Belichick. Anybody heard of this guy?

Bill Belichick is 'playing second fiddle' to girlfriend Jordon Hudson at UNC as debut season fast approaches
Bill Belichick is continuing to 'play second fiddle' to his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson as he hurtles toward his first season in charge of North Carolina. The legendary NFL coach has endured an embarrassing start to life in college football, with Hudson repeatedly overshadowing him as he prepares to coach UNC. In various TV interviews and viral moments, the former cheerleader has taken center stage and many reports even claim that Belichick's family is 'worried' about him. Now, her impact has been laid bare by college football analyst Paul Finebaum, who appeared on ESPN's First Take this week. 'Also, there's Bill Belichick... anybody heard of this guy?' he said while previewing the ACC. 'He's only the most famous NFL coach of all-time this side of Vince Lombardi, but lately he's played second fiddle to his girlfriend. 'I can't believe I'm actually saying that, but I am!' . @finebaum 's top three CFB storylines ⬇️ 🤔 What's the pulse of the ACC with Clemson and UNC? 🍿 Will Georgia and Alabama bounce back? 😯 Is Arch Manning the best college QB since Tim Tebow? — First Take (@FirstTake) July 11, 2025 The pair's high-profile relationship is also causing a tidal wave of backlash from alumni, donors and even faculty at UNC, who believe the age-gap relationship is eclipsing Belichick's coaching debut - and tarnishing the school's reputation. While the headline-grabbing couple have drawn media attention since they went public in 2023, newly released emails obtained by the Daily Mail through a public records request expose the internal uproar over what critics are calling a 'disgrace' and a 'circus.' In one message from late April, a furious donor wrote: 'What a total embarrassment to UNC. I am withdrawing all my donations and future donations.' Another, from a faculty member, slammed the $10 million, five-year deal handed to Belichick despite his lack of college coaching experience, and questioned how the university could afford it. Perhaps the most eye-opening moment came back in April when Belichick was interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning about the release of his new book. Striking footage emerged of Hudson by Belichick's side on the field as he coached UNC In bizarre fashion, Hudson became the focus of the interview when she repeatedly derailed the interview and interrupted to shut down questions about how the pair met. There was further controversy over a report that UNC had banned Hudson from their football facility, after she was spotted on the field during a team practice session. That was later clarified by the team, who insisted they had not placed any ban on Hudson, nor planned to. In May, journalist Pablo Torre claimed that Hudson went out of her way to hijack a TV commercial that Belichick had been asked to do, specifically insisting that she was on screen in a bikini, in a bizarre bid to 'hard launch' their relationship. 'There was one famous story that was witnessed by, I am told, dozens of people, including freelance contractors who were hired to work on the set of a seven-figure scripted commercial,' he said on his podcast, Pablo Torre Finds Out. 'What I am told by among the dozens of people that witnessed the shooting of this, is what happened that day on set was "highly unusual." 'Jordon Hudson, who was at the time a person they kind of heard about, but again this was last summer… had arrived on set and stated immediately pitching herself for a role that had not been discussed in this scripted seven-figure commercial shoot. That would also serve as "the hard launch" of their relationship.' Hudson's involvement with the 73-year-old coach has drawn controversy from the start Belichick's incessant off-field drama is the polar opposite to what he accepted from his players during his coaching run at the New England Patriots, which makes it all the more interesting. Constant headlines over the past year has sent media and fan interest through the roof as he prepares to take charge of his first game at the collegiate level, at home against TCU on September 1. Hudson and Belichick, who have a near-50 year age gap, first met in 2021 and went public with their relationship in 2024, though confusion still reigns over when exactly they began dating.

Ex-ESPN host delivers creepy remark on Jordon Hudson as he previews Bill Belichick's debut season at UNC
Bill Belichick 's girlfriend Jordon Hudson isn't just popular with septuagenarians. The 24-year-old former cheerleader has also caught the eye of 43-year-old podcaster, ex-ESPN host and former NFL defensive end David Pollack. During a recent episode of his 'See Ball, Get Ball,' program, the former Cincinnati Bengals star addressed Belichick's upcoming debut season at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. 'I have no clue what to expect from Chapel Bill except a hot honey walking the sidelines,' Pollack said in a clear nod to Hudson. 'That's all I know is going to happen.' Hudson's constant proximity to Belichick has been a major topic since he accepted the Tar Heels job in December. However, for all the time she's been spending with her rumored finacee, Hudson is not expected to be walking the sidelines with Belichick in Chapel Hill. The legendary New England Patriots coach has already ruled out that possibility, telling reports in June: 'She doesn't have any role in the UNC football program.' Pollack, a former Georgia star, also discussed the pre-draft process with Belichick in 2005, when he was the 17th overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals. 'One room was very different, and that was the Patriots with Belichick,' Pollack said. 'He chimed in, he asked questions. He asked questions about the scar on my head. No one else asked about that. No one else asked about the accident when I fell down the stairs on a house boat.' Pollack would play only three NFL seasons before his career was cut short by injuries. Belichick arrival at UNC has already led tp Raleigh's WRAL News published a bombshell report Friday after receiving those internal emails in response to a public records request. Much of the discussion centers on the fallout from Belichick's disastrous CBS interview , in which he and Hudson refused to discuss the origin of their widely discussed romance . However, the public records request also revealed an exchange between media relations staffer Brigitta Shouppe and senior associate vice chancellor in the Office of University Communications Beth Keith in which they discussed criticism from an alum. 'Never did I think UNC would become a laughing stock in the sports world because of his young girlfriend,' the UNC grad wrote in an email, as reported by WRAL. Shouppe responded to Keith hours later with a proposed response, albeit one that misspelled Belichick as 'Belichik' throughout. 'Thank you for reaching out, for sharing your views, and for your continued engagement and interest in Carolina,' read the proposed statement. 'Coach Belichik [sic] brings a wealth of experience in coaching and football at the highest levels. The news media has demonstrated an ongoing interest in those previous experiences and activities outside of Kenan Stadium.' Despite Belichick 's celebrated arrival at UNC and the uproar surrounding his relationship with Hudson , the new Tar Heels football coach's name was continuously misspelled by school officials in internal emails.

Those uncovered emails also lay bare Belichick's attempts to contain negative reaction to that CBS interview, much of which centered on Hudson's role with the team. The school has since clarified that Hudson is not employed at UNC, but remains welcome in the athletic department. 'Jordon and I have both a personal & professional relationship,' Belichick wrote to Keith. 'This is not a secret... Jordon assists me with my personal media, which is why I asked UNC to forward media requests (E.G. CBS 60 Minutes) to her. 'Jordon has zero involvement in the UNC football program, beyond the degree that my personal media intersects with it.' The Tar Heels open their 2025 season at home against TCU on September 1.

Will Jordon Hudson be on the UNC sidelines? Bill Belichick laughed at the question
Bill Belichick laughed at the idea that Jordon Hudson would be on the sidelines for North Carolina football games. Literally. On Tuesday, the UNC coach held his first press conference since March to give an update on the status of the program. Over 16 minutes into the media availability, the former Patriots coach got his first question about his girlfriend (and rumored fiancée). Advertisement Does Belichick expect Hudson to be on the sidelines? Belichick smiled and chuckled before answering. 'No, she doesn't have any role in the UNC football program,' he said. Hudson has been a media lightning rod since entering the national spotlight. The 24-year-old Hudson has drawn criticism for how she has handled Belichick's personal brand and image during interviews. She was also spotted on the field during Tar Heels practice earlier this offseason. At one point, journalist Pablo Torre reported that Hudson was not allowed on the field or in the UNC football facility. The school later refuted that report by stating that Hudson is 'welcome to the Carolina Football facilities,' noting that she is not an UNC employee. Advertisement Back to Belichick, the coach was asked how he and his staff plan to handle the myriad headlines and potential distractions the program has generated this offseason. In addressing the question, the former Patriots coach easily fell into his normal pattern of coach speak. 'There's been noise out there about a lot of different things,' Belichick said. 'Again, our focus is day to day, getting better, stacking good days together, having good rest, recovery and training, moving forward to the next day. From the coaching staff, to focus on 'How do we help our team get better?' That's my job. That's our staff's job, is to put a good plan in place so that they can – if they do the work, that they see the improvement. So that's what our job is.' Did Belichick just say the message for his staff is to 'Do your job?' It sure sounded a lot like it. Advertisement More Patriots Content Read the original article on MassLive.

ESPN pundit sets expectations for Bill Belichick in 1st year with UNC
UNC has lofty expectations going into the 2025 season with Bill Belichick as its new coach. For one longtime radio host and ESPN college football analyst, he believes the Tar Heels will improve upon their 6-7 season in 2024, but doesn't expect them to reach the ACC Championship Game. Advertisement 'I do think Bill Belichick is going to elevate this program,' Finebaum said recently on ESPN's 'Get Up.' 'It's been dormant for awhile and it's time to regenerate. North Carolina is a very good football school. And I know that surprises most people, probably even including in the Tar Heel State. 'Eight wins is very doable,' he continued. 'Maybe more if he gets lucky.' Belichick has never coached at the college level, but had plenty of success over his near five-decade in the NFL that included eight Super Bowl championships — six as coach of the New England Patriots. Aside from a new gig, Belichick has often been in the spotlight due to his relationship with Jordon Hudson —who drew the ire of Finebaum recently for being a distraction. Advertisement 'That's been the distracting story all offseason,' Finebaum said in June. 'He has fired coaches, gotten rid of great players, he separated from the greatest quarterback of all-time — it's time for Bill Belichick to fire his girlfriend.' Hudson does not have an official title nor is she employed by UNC. Belichick's first season with the Tar Heels officially kicks off on Sept. 1 at home against TCU.
