Bill Belichick spent his morning on a popular talk show, where he spoke about coaching college football.
Coaching at a new level of football is a challenge for anyone, even Bill Belichick, an 8-time Super Bowl Champion between his time with the New York Giants and New England Patriots.
The North Carolina Tar Heels made offseason headlines in December 2024, when they hired Belichick to be their next head football coach. While Belichick hasn’t coached at the college level before, UNC fans hope his NFL success will turn UNC into a consistent winning program.
Belichick is already generating national media attention, the kind North Carolina football hasn’t experienced before.
On Friday morning, Belichick’s media tour continued on Good Morning America with Michael Strahan: a 7-time Pro Bowler, the 2001 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl XLII Champion, which he won against Belichick’s Patriots.
“I’ve learned so much being back in the college environment, whether it be recruiting, the college game, the rules, the hashmarks, some strategy and putting a team together,” Belichick told Strahan. “I learn every day.”
Strahan also asked Belichick about his much-younger girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. Unlike the ACC Spring Meetings on Tuesday, where Belichick didn’t want to talk about Jordon, he praised Jordon for her help.
“She’s been terrific through the whole process, and she’s been very helpful to me,” Belichick said. “She does the business things that don’t relate to North Carolina that come up in my life, so I can concentrate on football, and that’s really what I want to do. I acknowledged her in the book. She was very helpful on that with the tribute pages and also giving a perspective of the book from kind of a business side. Sometimes I get a little football technical, and she did a good job of keeping me on balance there.”
There’s plenty of anticipation building for the Tar Heels’ 2025 season, which begins Monday, September 1 against the TCU Horned Frogs. Kickoff time was initially announced for 7:30 p.m., but got pushed back 30 minutes.
