Former North Carolina Tar Heels football coach shares shocking concession UNC made for Bill Belichick that isn’t Jordon Hudson image

The North Carolina Tar Heels football program is at the center of the collegiate sports world for all the wrong reasons after hiring six-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.

Instead of celebrating mass recruiting wins and building momentum for a comeback season in 2025 with a football legend roaming the sidelines, Belichick’s engagement to, and overall chaotic relationship with, Jordon Hudson is hogging all the headlines.

Mack Brown peeled the curtain back further on the “Chapel Bill” nightmare, revealing that UNC has dropped its academic standards to ensure success for the Tar Heels under the 73-year-old.

“As far as North Carolina and Bill Belichick now, he’s arguably the best coach ever,” Brown told Dusty Dvoracek and Danny Kanell on SiriusXM College Sports Radio. “They’ve committed money to it, they’ve helped him with academics. They’ve lowered those standards some. So there’s absolutely no reason they shouldn’t be successful.

“And anymore, they’ve changed the roster. … So you’ve got a chance to succeed at the highest level, and I expect him to do that and I’m proud for him.”

North Carolina AD Bubba Cunningham didn’t bargain for a 24-year-old woman who doesn’t, and never did, attend the school becoming Belichick’s focus. He certainly didn’t anticipate having to address Belichick’s engagement with a woman who’s half a century younger than him.

It’s 2025, though, and the focus is on Belichick’s personal life. Not his professional endeavors in Chapel Hill, which will cost the university over $10 million per season.
