The greatest coach in NFL history doesn’t have a Jordon Hudson problem – outside of the fact that the 73-year-old Hoodie oddly appears to be allowing a 24-year-old girlfriend to run his life.
Belichick increasingly has a serious football problem.
He’s an easy target on social media.
He couldn’t get back into pro football if he tried right now — and a man with 302 career wins spent the last two offseasons trying.

Who is Belichick in 2025?
He’s not a defensive genius who built a system around Brady, made ‘Do your job’ a life mantra in Boston, and coached the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history.
To a generation obsessed with Tik Tok, Instagram, X and Facebook, Belichick is a creepy old guy with a hole in his sweatshirt trying to convince kids that North Carolina is a football school, not a basketball school.

Not convinced?
Then just remember that the grumpiest coach of all-time briefly made himself cool again during the past NFL season, juggling podcasts and media interviews, and almost convincing league executives that he wasn’t a micromanager completely obsessed with his own ego.

A few months later, Mike Vrabel is coaching the Pats, Travis Hunter is a Jacksonville Jaguar, and Belichick is hiding out on a book tour after going viral for the worst TV interview of the decade.
“Bill Belichick is the Greatest Head Coach in NFL History, but his girlfriend Jordon Hudson is becoming a problem,” tweeted Robert Griffin III, who won a Heisman Trophy and produced one of the most thrilling rookie seasons in NFL history.
“Bill can date whoever he wants, but his relationship has become the one thing he always hated as a coach, a DISTRACTION for his UNC Football team.”

“The No. 1 thing we used to talk about all the time in New England was distractions,” Julian Edelman said on The Herd with Colin Cowherd
“ ‘Let’s not make distractions. The game’s already as hard as it is. To prepare for it, to play, to coach.’
“And regardless of what her role is, Jordon, yeah, I thought he got an unfair public opinion on the whole thing, because that happens all the time. Anytime we do behind-the-scenes this, that, you’ve got someone that represents you, they’re gonna jump in.
“But now that it’s gained and it’s snowballed to what it’s become right now, where we’re talking about it three weeks later, it’s become a distraction. That’s what we all think right now. This is becoming a distraction. We gotta practice what we preach here.”
Forget, if possible, the 24-year-old girlfriend who doubles as a public relations fixer on a college campus.
