Bill Belichick's much-discussed romance with Jordon Hudson returned to Center Stage after a well-known TV interview.
Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson has been accused of attempting to assert her control during the former NFL coach's sit-in on “CBS News Sunday Morning.” The interview was part of a promotional tour for Bilichick's new book, The Art of Winning – My Life in Football.
The world of sports and the numbers since then have shared their thoughts since the scrutinized interview. On Wednesday, former NBA star and current broadcaster Charles Barkley became one of the newest to consider the situation.

In an interview with longtime sports broadcaster Dan Patrick, Berkley described Belichick as one of his “really good friends.”
“Well, this is a very slippery theme for me, because Bill is one of my really good friends,” Berkley told Patrick. “I don't – I don't know what's going on. He's been a great friend to me for a long time. We've been friends since he coached the Browns. I think he's very careful right now. This is starting to become a very slippery slope.”

Berkley also warned that he normally avoids violating personal relationships. However, he raised concerns about “something” going on between Belichick and Hudson, saying it might urge him to get in touch with the head North Carolina soccer coach.

“He's the best football coach ever. He and Nick Saban. Nick Saban, Nick Saban. I don't look very well now.”
In a recent interview with CBS, questions about how Belichick and Hudson first met were quick to change their minds. “We're not talking about this,” Hudson said before Belichick answered.
After the interview, Belichick argued that some interview prerequisites were not supported.

“I clearly communicated with a spokesman for Simon & Schuster that the promotional interview I participated in would agree to focus solely on the content of the book,” a statement from Belichick Read. “Unfortunately, those expectations were not respected during the interview.”
The six-time Super Bowl winner coach also targeted CBS's Tony Dokoupil, accusing him of developing “unrelated topics,” and claimed that Belichick had urged Hudson to speak out during the interview.
“I have repeatedly made a statement to reporter Tony Docpile and producers who wanted to keep the conversation at the heart of the book,” the statement added. “After this happened several times, Jordon, who shares both personal and professional relationships, repeated that point to help me focus on the discussion.”
“She was working to make sure the interview was going well, not to divert specific questions or topics.”

Hudson also appeared to be putting his hands on Belichick's career. She faces criticism for reporting that her involvement in North Carolina has reported missing the opportunity to be featured on HBO's “Hard Knock.” According to Athletic, Hudson had a “instrumental role” in connecting plugs on the potential production of unfocused docusaries to HBO.
The report also noted that Hudson asked him to be “very involved in the project.”
Belichick, 73, has been published as Hudson, 24 since 2023. He said he met Hudson on his 2021 flight.
