Bill Belichick will go down as one of the greatest head coaches in NFL history and no one can take that away from him. However, his time as the head coach with the North Carolina Tar Heels has gotten off to a rocky start.
Belichick’s personal life has been talked about more than anything he is doing for the football team. Now, he attempting to defend his personal life.
“Film Issues” The Way Bill Belichick Just Defended Jordon Hudson Shows How Brain Washed He Is
The coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels has “explained” to HBO why North Carolina declined to be the subject of its upcoming “Hard Knocks” docuseries:
“The ‘Hard Knocks’ thing, just for the record, ‘Hard Knocks’ is training camp. And we’re not training camp,” Belichick said this week on “The Pivot” podcast with Ryan Clark. “That’s not what we are, the drama of training camp, and who’s going to get cut and all that. We’re a season, and they don’t want that.
“There’s film issues, too. But forget about the film issues. Just say you could straighten all those out. The Hard Knocks just didn’t fit for us. That’s the bottom line.”
Before the deal with HBO fell through in late March, Hudson reportedly had “demanded” to be an executive producer on the ‘Hard Knocks’ program, according to a report from Page Six.
The report also stated that Hudson wanted to “see dailies of the proposed show” and told NFL Films executives “to treat her with respect, or they wouldn’t get to use the coach’s ‘IP.’”
Previous reports have noted that Hudson’s power play cost North Carolina $200,000 in potential facilities fees, plus the opportunity to capitalize on added exposure for the Tar Heels program after Belichick’s arrival.
The 73-year-old Belichick and his relationship have been in the headlines since a “CBS Sunday Morning” interview last month featured awkward moments with Hudson interjecting from the background.
Belichick, who never has appeared on ‘Hard Knocks’ during his time in New England, has insisted that Hudson is not officially involved at North Carolina.
The legendary Patriots coach resumed his tour this week to promote his book “The Art of Winning,” with additional sit-downs with ABC and ESPN.
