Bill Belichick has revealed that Jordon Hudson was involved with the North Carolina football team, helping with the sports information side of the team.
Those sports-information directors typically handle press relations with the head coach and football players such as coordinating interviews and helping give context to any accomplishment from a player.
Belichick previously stated this week that Hudson was not involved with the Tar Heels, despite being the 49-years-younger girlfriend of the head coach.
Now, his comments on the ‘Pivot Podcast’ shine a different light on Hudson, 24, being involved in Chapel Hill.
‘It would be personal opportunities. It could be a speaking thing, it could be an appearance on this, or talk about this, or somebody wants whatever it happens to be an autograph, or that type of thing,’ Belichick said. ‘And so, she’d kind of help organize that for me.’
‘One of the first things that came out when North Carolina sent me emails saying, “These people want to talk to you” I sent back an email, “Can you please copy Jordon on these requests?” so she could at least filter through them because there was nobody.’

‘We didn’t have a sports information guy. Because all emails are shared publicly, that was taken as Jordon’s running the sports information department. And that also led to a narrative, which is just totally – she’s not doing it. I mean, there was nobody to help me sort it out, so I was asking her to do it.’
Belichick’s timeline works out, as the school hired Justin Wilson from Central Florida to be his primary contact point for media members in March.
Belichick also spoke about why the college-football version of HBO Max docuseries ‘Hard Knocks’ did not take place after being announced for the Tar Heels previously.
Hudson reportedly had incredulous demands for the acclaimed series to chronicle her beau and his team.
Hudson reportedly demanded to be an executive producer on the North Carolina season of the series, which would be making its first foray into college football, instead of profiling NFL teams.
The 24-year-old also wanted to see advanced copies of the Max show, and reportedly told existing executive producers to ‘treat her with respect’ or they would not get access to Belichick’s ‘IP’, per Page Six.
After being met with the shameless demands, Hard Knocks’ crew U-turned on wanting to produce the series and scrapped the project.
‘The “Hard Knocks” thing, just for the record, “Hard Knocks” is training camp,’ Belichick added. ‘And we’re not training camp. That’s not what we are, the drama of training camp, and who’s going to get cut and all that. We’re a season, and they don’t want that.’
In a painfully awkward moment, Hudson interrupted Belichick’s conversation with CBS

‘There’s film issues, too. But forget about the film issues. Just say you could straighten all those out. The Hard Knocks just didn’t fit for us. That’s the bottom line.’
Hudson’s influence on Belichick has been under a spotlight since Belichick’s disastrous CBS interview from a few weeks back, where Hudson interrupted a question about how the couple met and said the phrase, telling her 73-year-old partner to not answer.
Belichick has spoken out on his romance with Hudson multiple times this week after a bombshell report from The Washington Post was released on Tuesday on the 24-year-old.
Football insiders working within the North Carolina football program have slammed Belichick‘s ‘odd’ relationship with Hudson and her influence over the head coach.
One Tar Heel employee even suggested Belichick’s girlfriend could cost the 73-year-old his new coaching job.
Hudson and Belichick were in the limelight as well last weekend as she took part in the Miss Maine pageant, eventually finishing third – one place lower than her 2024 effort.
Belichick was spotted front row at the event, supporting his girlfriend alongside her father.
Despite Hudson’s failure to win the crown and a place in Miss USA, it is understood the pair don’t believe their fame had a detrimental effect on the results.
