The Belichick Saga (1 Viewer)

UNC responds to report Bill Belichick’s girlfriend Jordon Hudson is banned​

North Carolina has responded to a report from former ESPN employee Pablo Torre that states that Jordon Hudson, who is the girlfriend of Bill Belichick, has been banned from the UNC football building.

The statement from North Carolina denies that Hudson has been banned from being around the football program.

“While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University of Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities," the statement says, per ESPN’s David Hale.

“Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick’s personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina football and the University."

The statement was released just a few hours after Pablo Torre said on his podcast, Pablo Torre Finds Out, that Jordon Hudson is no longer allowed in the UNC football building or on the football field.

She'll likely get put into her lane by UNC if she starts to affect the program
UNC has no authority over her. None.
:shrug:
Wow. I stand corrected, UNC really brought the hammer down. This will probably break her. I can't see her behaving exactly the same way after this severe punishment.
She's in her lane for sure now.

The post above was brought to you be the letter S, for sarcasm.

Probably not a great move and sort of “I told you so-ish” (I just did that also) to pull receipts just yet but this would seem significant, no?

I don’t want to get embroiled in this premise because my premise was very limited, but this would seem like a huge step in bringing what I think (and I’m not interested in arguing because it simply wasn’t my point) is a bilk job and borderline theft to a head in the grand scheme of things. Maybe not. Maybe things just proceed normally from here. Strains credulity.

It’s probably not that likely at this point, to be honest, but wouldn’t be shocked if he just walks away and passes the torch to his son.
Is the UNC football coach position some sort of monarchical arrangement? If he walks, I don't think they'd want his son very much, but I could be mistaken.
 
This thread has a lot of posts in it. I guess a lot of people care about celebrities personal lives.

I think if you’d read the thread (at all) and seen the moderator say something then you’d know that this was duly covered and answered for because people like me were totally irritated with stuff like this. Don’t need your imprimatur nor judgment and this story has obviously taken on very newsworthy dimensions, thank you very much.

You read alot into my post. I did not read any of this thread.


I doubt I have any imprimatur.

Word is Bill got a clause in his UNC contract that guarantees Steve Belichick would be his successor at UNC.
 
I’m going to predict Belichick doesn’t coach a game for North Carolina.

Interesting. What % chance do you think it is that he actually doesn't coach a game for UNC?
It’s probably not that likely at this point, to be honest, but wouldn’t be shocked if he just walks away and passes the torch to his son.

Thanks. Also, if he's not there, do you think it will be because of UNC firing him or him walking away.

I have a good friend who thinks he'll walk away.

I don't have any insight and I may be interpreting Belichick all wrong, but the Old School Footballguys like him I know put a huge negative weight on quitting. I'd be floored if he quits. But stranger things have happened.

I would love to believe your comment was as neutral as could be interpreted. That would be an awfully effective way to defuse any sort of conflict or any tension.

I’m also not stupid enough to ignore the effort, tone, and framing of your post.

Imprimatur is any sanction, generally reserved for Catholicism, but it works as a general term. Everyone has agency to grant their imprimatur. So you have it, indeed.
 
The latest Pablo Torres Finds Out podcast on this has some new reporting. It certainly seems that Jordon was maybe 19 when she met Bill on the flight and is maybe trying to fudge about her age by a year.

And I certainly think it's an newsworthy subject. Yes, the relationship is perfectly legal. But there's nothing wrong with noting that it feels kind of mutually predatory and icky, even if both BIll and Jordon seem to know what's up.

I'm not sure BB would walk away unless he had a reason to move on to something else. There aren't any NFL head coaching positions currently available, and it's debatable whether he would be a candidate for (or want) one of them if one popped up (Would depend on the specific team).

Big picture, he doesn't need the money. He's getting $10M a year to coach at UNC. Sure, he got paid a ton by NE last year, but I'm guessing Bill made millions from his various media gigs last year on top of that. Multiple times over the years, when Bill was asked in interviews what he would do if he wasn't coaching at the NFL level, he mentioned he wanted to coach college lacrosse. To me, it sounded like he had a sincere interest in wanting to coach at the college level and not have to deal with the entitlement issues of guys at the pro level.

For anyone that thinks Bill would voluntarily walk away from UNC, I'd be interested to hear the motivation that would prompt him to move on before he coached a game. IMO, he would have to have another NFL head coaching gig. If not, why would he leave on his own accord?
 
One of the weird little things coming out is that Bill doesn't really have a media/pr guy anymore. His longtime rep took a role at Boston College. So, other than Jordon, Bill's "team" is apparently Matt Patricia, Josh McDaniels, and Mike Lombardi. Three guys who really couldn't make it as football guys without bootlicking Belichick and who are never going to tell him anything he doesn't want to hear,

Sounds like Pablo Found Out.

Not surprised he's doubling down.

Journalist Pablo Finds Out is my favorite part of this story.

To add, I know who he is. Ex ESPN Harvard grads are not immune to gossip rag behavior on social media in 2025. It's the way of the world.

He's obviously saying he wasn't wrong. But maybe wrong is too strong a word. Those unnamed sources are just so tricky to interpret correctly sometimes. You'd think they'd teach that at Harvard.
 
FWIW, from my Ohio State buddy:

The school that is loving this the most is Michigan. If not for this story, the coach self-imposing his own suspension of the 3rd and 4th game of the season, and the president leaving would be headline news right before the NCAA is about to drop a hammer on them.

Jerry Van Dyke and Bill Fagerbakke weren't available so he found the next best thing.

Sure thing, brother. Catch me in a better topic on a better day. My apologies if I haven’t given you enough grace, leeway, or understanding.

Eta* no sarcasm there

I believe Josh's brother Ben is the one on BB's staff at UNC as passing game coordinator. Josh is back with NE, and I don't see him being able to do much with Bill while being the OC for the Pats.

Apparently there is an understanding that his son will succeed him as HC at North Carolina so I'm basing it on that, But carry on...

I don't mean they are on his coaching staff (though I guess Lombardi is the "GM" of the UNC program, whatever the hell that means). They're his "team" in regard to his media "empire." Patricia and Lombardi are frequent co-hosts of his YouTube stuff. He apparently has a daily early morning call with all three of them to kind of go over planning of what he's going to do. And it's weird, because even if these guys were great football coaches and GMs, they don't have any great expertise in managing the image of a public figure. So Jordon Hudson has kind of stepped into that power vacuum. Which has allowed her to try to use Bill's media opportunities to kind of "launch" them as a public couple (by getting herself thrown into the Dunkin commercial and apparently trying to do the same with another commercial).

Is there any solid link to this? It keeps getting mentioned. Thank you.
I've read it a few times when he was first hired.

Yeah, Doc. Don’t bother. This is what certain people do when they want to obstruct the substantive interest or claims. They run around asking for sources and links. Should we always link when doing journalism? Yes. Should we let it inhibit our discussions? No. It’s often a time suck and a burden shift so the person can bother you and pester you unabated. Unfortunately, it’s a sea lion tactic also. It retains an air of respectability. Personally I think it makes it easier for real journalists to elide what should be strict requirements because now everybody can relate to a disingenuous tactic.

Don’t know how I missed it but just realized her name is Jordon and not Jordan…I hear guys on Talk Radio say Jor-DON but I thought they were just screwing around…the fact that is her actual name is so on-brand for this story…if this were a Netflix series we are one episode away from finding out Don Shula is still alive and Jor-DON is his diabolical Granddaughter.

Best I could find.
That seems good enough. Plenty of blurbs like that when the hire was first announced. It seemed like a simple enough thing to search for if some one was curious enough to comment.

He didn't and doesn't care. I know I'm making friends today, but the person that asked you does **** like that all the time and I've dealt with him often.

Two ****ing seconds to do a Google search. But asking you does two things. It shifts the burden of production (in the ignorant reader's mind) to you and wastes your time and effort while he passively-aggressively doubts your claim and says so without having the balls to actually say so. If people backed up "source" requests with what they really thought, we'd have more accountability. Indeed, if the person doesn't know and they're interested, saying "I looked and couldn't find it" or something of that nature and "Do you have a ready link or source?" would help defuse about twenty percent of the tensions on the internet.

But dude you're dealing with is a constant sea lion.
 
I think that no matter what contractual agreement Bill has with UNC, the odds that he'd be able to enforce an agreement to make his son the next head coach if he were to walk away after never coaching a game are remote.
Yes, it was a throw away addition to my claim Belichick may walk away. Obviously if he did that they most likely wouldn’t want his son to take over but the truth is at this point it would be too late to start over. Some one on that staff would get promoted even if reluctantly.
 
And I don’t really think Bill is walking away - I just see it as a possibility and that in itself would be an oddity.

Brings to mind the time Arkansas hired John L. Smith for a season after they had to fire Bobby Petrino. That man was awful but boy, did he provide us some nuggets of entertainment!

I imagine Salamander Steve would provide good YouTube fodder as well.
 
Three more minutes:

A dive into Trouble Cub Enterprises, a holding company owned by Jordon Hudson, which has subsidiaries that just tried to trademark phrases like "Do Your Job" and other such phrases that the Patriots already own the trademark to. Hwarf.

On promoting Steve Belichick through UNC's social media team:

"Though Steve Belichick is in fact Bill’s son, he should be depicted and represented as his own established, credible entity as opposed to an extension of Bill. It can be easily misinterpreted that Steve is simply benefitting from nepotism but that is not the case. Steve was fortunate to have learned defensive football strategy from the ‘greatest defensive mind’ of all-time. He has earned his position due to his performance and output."

Bill Belichick finalized his coaching staff in March, with Steve listed as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Brian Belichick, Bill's youngest son, is coaching the defensive backs and safeties. Baker noted Brian wasn't mentioned in any of the emails.

Hudson also noted in her email that Steve "has the experience of being a COLLEGE defensive coordinator and will bring a plethora of knowledge to the coaching staff" and that emphasizing his resume would "prevent controversy" and "validate" Bill's decision to hire him.

I think the woman from Slate magazine that called Hudson a "Beli-chick" deserves mention for creativity.

That's the best I could find too, from back in December while negotiations were still going on and before any agreement was reached. Thanks dude.

I heard on the radio (forget who) that BB tried to get a succession plan with Steve as part of his contract but UNC said no.

She is probably dating Bill Belichick because of a genuine admiration for the amoeba defense and the hybrid 3-4 front.

He is way older than her, but who else is she supposed to date with a similar expertise in disguising defensive looks pre-snap?

Nick Saban is known for employing similar defensive disguises, but he has been married for decades and resides permanently in Alabama, making logistics difficult.

You might think Romeo Crennel would be a good option. Unfortunately, at 78, he's actually older than Belichick, making the age difference even more pronounced.

Mike Vrabel, who learned the amoeba from Belichick as a player, would seem viable. But he is married, rooted firmly in Tennessee, and shows no indication of being available for dating.

Brian Flores effectively used variations of the amoeba defense in Miami and Pittsburgh, but he is occupied with coaching duties in Minnesota and various legal issues, making him unlikely to be free for social commitments at this time.

Dean Pees utilized amoeba concepts extensively with the Ravens and Falcons, but retired to a lake community in Georgia. His repeated retirements and returns from retirement might present stability issues incompatible with a long-term relationship.

Steve Belichick, UNC's current defensive play-caller, might seem like a practical younger alternative. However, dating the son of one's current partner creates problematic conflicts of interest and workplace discomfort.

Given these constraints, it's understandable why she settled on Bill Belichick himself. Though considerably older, he remains the most conveniently available option compatible with her keenest interests.

Finally a post in this thread that makes sense.
 
Think it’s funny that Steve’s wife, Bills daughter in law, is the most vocal in the family about not liking her and Jordon spending all of their potential inheritance.
 
As one who has had a MIL die in a nursing home with dementia, a father who is currently in a nursing home with dementia, and a mother that is exhibiting early signs of dementia...believe me, I am very well aware of dementia without having to subscribe to "only" a dozen or so media outlets and have it either directly or second hand shoved in my face.

The specter of "elder abuse" has been pretty much top of mind for about the last five years, maybe more.

I just wanted to say I’m deeply sorry about this. This cannot have been anything but earth-shattering and you have my shared sympathy, Andy. Really.

At the heart of my interest is something a little more troubling than media stuff, and hopefully we can ***** at each other about how Belichick’s story is handled in the media while remembering a shared humanity. I hope this doesn’t seem like grandstanding; I have no ulterior motive at all. I’m still firm in my position, but acknowledging your situation is important from where I sit and in my experience because it just . . . well, I don't really have words for why. It just is.

Some of us can at least begin to relate to what you must have felt and have been feeling; the difference is that your situation sounds like it has been a scourge rather than a normal but still awful happenstance. Peace, man. Godspeed.
