Football fans are calling for the University of North Carolina to fire Tar Heels football head coach Bill Belichick after a recent incident involving his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson.
Beichick, 73, is considered one of the greatest NFL coaches of all time. He coached the New England Patriots to 6 Super Bowl wins, and he won 2 Super Bowl rings as the defensive coordinator of the New York Giants.
But Belichick was fired last year by Patriots owner Robert Kraft after 24 seasons. Sources cited his unusual relationship with Hudson as the reason for his termination.
In December, Belichick signed a 5-year contract worth $50 million to become the head coach of the Tar Heels football team. The deal includes a $10 million salary.
But UNC fans are concerned about his relationship with Hudson who does not hold a job at the university.
He reportedly asked UNC to CC Hudson on all of his emails, and she’s been seen on the sideline at UNC football practices.
The calls for Belichick’s termination reached a fever pitch when Hudson told Belichick not to answer a question about how they met during an interview on CBS’s “Sunday Morning.”
Belichick defended Hudson after the disastrous interview went viral. She recently leaked screenshots of an email written by Belichick showing his contempt for the mainstream media.
Former Patriots star linebacker Ted Johnson called for UNC to cut Belichick loose after the uncomfortable interview aired on CBS.
“I think the Carolina Tar Heels should consider firing Bill Belichick,” Johnson said on WEEI. “They should consider letting him go at this point.”
“I look at Bill Belichick and I wonder if he’s fit to coach an NFL team, let alone fit to coach a college team,” Johnson added.
“So, I’m worried that Bill Belichick just isn’t fit to coach college kids, and UNC should consider cutting ties with Bill Belichick.”
Some fans are worried that Belichick might be showing signs of dementia. They say he is not fit to coach the Tar Heels.
One fan wrote: “Will UNC cut bait and fire Belichick before the season even starts??? What a terrible hire.”
Another person wrote: “Fire Bill Belichick @UNCFootball Cut your losses.”
A third person commented: “This woman is controlling him and he doesn’t seem capable of coaching. It’s genuinely sad.”
Hudson, whose mom reportedly works at a sex shop, previously dated a 64-year-old man before she reportedly met Belichick on a plane.
