Legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick isn’t the only one looking forward to his next chapter as the head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels. His girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, has also expressed her excitement, sharing her enthusiasm on social media as the iconic coach transitions to his first-ever college coaching role.
A Cheerful Announcement
On Wednesday, Hudson, a 24-year-old former cheerleader, celebrated the announcement of Belichick’s new position with an Instagram story featuring an image of the official press release. She humorously captioned it, “We are onto Chapel Hill!!!” in a nod to Belichick’s famously stoic “We’re on to Cincinnati” press conference from a decade ago.
The University of North Carolina confirmed the hire later that evening, announcing that Belichick, a six-time Super Bowl champion, would lead the Tar Heels football program on a five-year deal.
Belichick’s Statement of Excitement
In his official statement, Belichick reflected on his roots in college football and his enthusiasm for the opportunity to coach at UNC.
“I am excited for the opportunity at UNC-Chapel Hill,” Belichick said. “I grew up around college football with my dad and treasured those times. I have always wanted to coach in college, and now I look forward to building the football program in Chapel Hill.”
This marks a significant shift in Belichick’s storied 49-year coaching career. Having spent the last 24 seasons at the helm of the New England Patriots, where he led the team to six Super Bowl victories, Belichick is taking on a fresh challenge in collegiate football.

A First for Belichick’s Career
Belichick’s move to UNC represents his first foray into coaching a college program. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and ability to build dynasties, the 71-year-old will now bring his expertise to the Tar Heels, aiming to elevate the team to new heights in the competitive landscape of college football.
While Belichick’s coaching credentials are undisputed, the transition to college football brings new challenges, including recruitment and navigating the intricacies of name, image, and likeness (NIL) agreements. Still, his experience and track record suggest he is well-equipped to handle the demands of the role.
A Blossoming Romance
Belichick’s new job isn’t the only exciting development in his life. His relationship with Hudson has been making waves since it first came to light in June. The couple’s 48-year age difference has drawn attention, but their public appearances and shared moments suggest they are enjoying their time together.
Last week, Belichick and Hudson made their first major red-carpet appearance at The Museum Gala, hosted by the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. The event marked a significant step for the couple, who have become increasingly open about their relationship.
Holiday Cheer in Nantucket
In addition to their high-profile outing, Hudson recently shared photos of the couple embracing the holiday spirit in Nantucket, Massachusetts. The images depicted the two enjoying festive moments, further highlighting their bond as Belichick prepares to embark on this new chapter.
Looking Ahead
Belichick’s move to UNC has sparked widespread excitement among fans and within the college football community. For Hudson, it’s an opportunity to support her partner as he takes on a new challenge while continuing to share their lives publicly.
As the Tar Heels prepare for their next era under Belichick’s leadership, the legendary coach brings with him decades of experience, a winning pedigree, and the determination to leave a lasting mark on Chapel Hill.
With Hudson by his side, this next chapter promises to be both professionally and personally fulfilling.
