Since the announcement of their relationship, Jordon Hudson has been involved in many, if not every, aspect of Bill Belichick’s career. Belichick is gearing up for his first season as the head coach of the University of North Carolina Tar Heels. However, now Belichick has some unwanted attention on him following Hudson’s involvement in the program.
Last Friday, former ESPN analyst Pablo Torre of Pablo Torre Finds Out reported that “higher-ups” at the University of North Carolina decided that Belichick’s girlfriend, Hudson, was no longer allowed at the program’s facilities. North Carolina very quickly released a statement addressing Torre’s report.
Pablo Torre Details Reported Tension Between UNC and Jordon Hudson
Pablo Torre says North Carolina leadership told the football program that Hudson “won’t be around anymore” amid ongoing, unnecessary drama. This is seen at the link above at 2 hours and 22 minutes and 20 seconds into the video. This has now been going on for a couple of months, but it seems to have exploded following Belichick’s interview with CBS, where Hudson kept interrupting.
“While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities,” the statement read, per On3’s Pete Nakos. “Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick’s brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University.”
Alas, Torre didn’t back down from his initial report, claiming his information came from “the highest levels of the football program.” During an appearance on Pardon My Take on Thursday, Torre provided an update on the Belichick-Hudson drama unfolding in Chapel Hill.
“This is my whole thing about the ban,” Torre said. “The CBS thing opened the floodgates, as you guys detected, and what happened since is this power struggle behind the scenes from the very top of the university, telling the football program in a meeting, ‘She can’t be around anymore. We don’t want her around anymore. She won’t be around anymore.’
“That message got out around the program. And simultaneously to that has been the hiring of a PR guy who is, very notably, very different from Jordon Hudson. A guy who used to work for the Bears, actually.”
Torre noted that the PR hire is reportedly Brandon Faber, who was formerly the Chicago Bears’ PR director. With new rumors and reports about Hudson’s involvement with UNC football surfacing almost daily, Faber has his work cut out for him.
The conversation around Hudson’s influence on Belichick reached an all-time high when CBS aired an interview with the legendary coach, which Hudson reportedly interrupted numerous times. Torre believes Belichick’s inner circle is using the backlash of the CBS interview to talk to Belichick about his relationship with Hudson.

“Bill Belichick loves football, and the more he talks about football, and the less that he has to talk about Jordon Hudson, the better,” Torre said. “Everybody behind the scenes has — and this is from his family to his inner circle — so Matt Patricia, Josh McDaniels, Mike Lombardi, those guys who did nothing, by the way, to stop Jordon Hudson from basically running the show behind the scenes. Everybody is now finally like, ‘Oh my God. We have our opening.”
