North Carolina Players Say Bill Belichick Is 'a Fun Dude'
ORANGE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, JUL 24 – Tar Heels players say coach Belichick's relationship with girlfriend Jordon Hudson has not distracted the team despite intense media scrutiny, with a 6-6 record last season, they remain focused.
- On Thursday at the ACC annual kickoff in Charlotte, N.C., UNC players publicly defended Head Coach Bill Belichick’s relationship with Jordon Hudson as non-disruptive to team preparations.
- Earlier this year, media scrutiny intensified when Hudson interrupted a late April CBS News Sunday Morning interview, and in May reports of a facility ban—denied by UNC on May 9—surfaced.
- UNC wide receiver Jordan Shipp said `Social media can promote some narrative, but that was not a distraction to us at all`, while Gio Lopez noted they'd never really see Hudson in the building and mostly saw her online.
- Focusing strictly on football, Belichick called the media coverage `noise`, saying his attention remains solely on the Sept. 1 primetime opener against TCU.
- Though analysts remain skeptical about UNC’s prospects under Belichick, players insist they won’t blame his personal life, and he joins two other former NFL head coaches in the ACC this season.
