It’s the story that won’t go away.
Belichick appeared on last week’s CBS Sunday Morning to promote his new book, The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football.
The interview did not go according to plan once the attention shifted toward Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, and her interruption when a question about how they met was brought up.
After decades of covering Belichick, King could not believe what he witnessed during the interview.
“This is a guy who owned every room he ever walked into and now he’s got a 24-year-old muse telling him what to do or trying to control situations that quite frankly she has nothing to do with or should have nothing to do with,” King said on Sports Media with Richard Deitsch. “Bill’s got to get a hold of himself here. He’s got to get a hold of this situation. This is embarrassing. It’s totally embarrassing for a guy who’s as great at his job as he is.”
Belichick is known for his weathered sweatshirts with cutoff sleeves. While that’s OK for the locker room, King took offense to Belichick’s raggedy Navy sweatshirt with a hole in it.
“Bill Belichick, to promote a book, goes on Sunday morning television for however long it was, say 10 minutes, goes on Sunday morning television with a sweatshirt on with a hole in it,” King remarked. “Look at the video of it. He’s got a Navy sweatshirt on that has a hole in it…”

Ever since the interview aired, Belichick has been in damage mode as he puts out PR fires.
North Carolina released a statement the other day on behalf of Belichick to defend Hudson, saying that the interview created a “false narrative” about Hudson.
Reports later surfaced that Hudson was one of the reasons why HBO’s Hard Knocks pulled out of the deal with North Carolina.
North Carolina’s football program and coach Bill Belichick were expected to be featured this season on “Hard Knocks.”
But the deal fell apart just before a public announcement was to be made.
