Belichick denies girlfriend's involvement in UNC football operations
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick told the Wall Street Journal his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, does not manage or influence the University of North Carolina football program.
University of North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick said his 25-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, is not involved in the football program’s day-to-day operations. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Belichick described reports suggesting she was acting as a "general manager" as "ridiculous" and "a flat-out lie."
He explained that Hudson assists only with his personal schedule and is copied on a limited number of emails unrelated to university business. Belichick noted that when he accepted the UNC job in December, he was simultaneously handling multiple media commitments and a forthcoming book, indicating a heavy workload that required scheduling help.
The coach also dismissed public-records requests concerning communications about Hudson, stating they pertained to material already released. He emphasized that Hudson has kept a low profile, making her first public appearance at a recent UNC victory over East Tennessee State.
