Summary
Wall Street Journal interview remarks published Wednesday had Bill Belichick rejecting claims that Jordon Hudson effectively runs parts of North Carolina football, calling that portrayal “ridiculous.”
Belichick said Hudson only helped coordinate his personal schedule when he took the UNC job in December, while he was juggling five TV shows, a radio show and a book launch.
Emails copying Hudson on appearance-related requests were unrelated to university business, he said, and reports that she was involved in “every single thing” he does were “a flat-out lie.”
Public scrutiny had intensified after Hudson sought records of communications between reporters and university employees about the couple, though Belichick dismissed those requests as asking for material already sent.
The comments come with UNC at 2-0 after a 35-3 win over East Tennessee State and amid continuing attention on Belichick’s off-field role and relationships around the program.
