It\u2019s the Jordon and Bill show in Chapel Hill \u2014 in that order.<\/p>\n
College football analyst Paul Finebaum said Bill Belichick is playing \u201csecond fiddle\u201d to 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson while he closes in on his college football coaching debut.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso, there\u2019s Bill Belichick, anybody heard of this guy?\u201d Finebaum said on \u201cFirst Take\u201d on Friday while previewing the ACC. \u201cHe\u2019s only the most-famous NFL coach of all time this side of Vince Lombardi, but lately he\u2019s played second fiddle to his girlfriend. I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m actually saying that, but I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

CBS<\/p>\n It\u2019s certainly hard to separate Belichick and Hudson since the duo has gone public, and Hudson has made plenty of headlines on her own.<\/p>\n While \u201cCBS Sunday Morning\u201d interviewed Belichick in April about his book, Hudson became the focus after she shut down questions<\/a> about how the pair met.<\/p>\n That led to a back-and-forth between the network and ex-Patriots coach.<\/p>\n There has also been controversy about whether North Carolina banned Hudson from the facilities \u2014 the school has said no \u2014 accusations of Hudson attempting to hijack a Dunkin\u2019 Donuts Super Bowl commercial<\/a> and recent bickering with Belichick\u2019s ex, Linda Holliday<\/a>.<\/p>\n Paul Finebaum on \u201cFirst Take\u201d on July 11. @FirstTake\/X<\/p>\n All the off-the-field headlines are contrary to how Belichick operated during his Patriots tenure, with several of his ex-players even noting how he would tell the team to limit distractions.<\/p>\n The constant headlines have only heightened the anticipation for his first season coaching in the collegiate ranks, which begins Sept. 1 at home against TCU.<\/p>\n Belichick and Hudson have often been in the spotlight. AP<\/p>\n The Tar Heels\u2019 Over\/Under is set at 7.5 wins at DraftKings, with plus-odds to the Over.<\/p>\n Some of North Carolina\u2019s high-profile games include an Oct. 4 home game against defending conference champion Clemson and an Oct. 31 road game at Syracuse.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd that is a story that is really intriguing everyone. How does he do on the field?\u201d Finebaum said. \u201cMack Brown did not leave a great cupboard in Chapel Hill and I think Belichick has recruited well. Can he navigate the nuances of college football, that is really the question?\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t
