AP<\/p>\n Hudson, a former college cheerleader, was by Belichick\u2019s side amid that tumultuous first season, which concluded with the ex-Patriots coach shaking up his staff<\/a> in December by firing offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens and special teams coordinator Mike Priefer.<\/p>\n Belichick\u2019s wild offseason only continued from there with January\u2019s bewildering news that the eight-time Super Bowl winner was not elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on his first attempt.<\/p>\n The result sparked outcry <\/a>within the football community, not to mention Hudson<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bill Belichick (c.) and Jordon Hudson (r.) with former NCAA and NBA coach Larry Brown in February 2026. AP<\/p>\n Last month, Hudson posted a screenshot of an email to her Instagram account indicating an order of three Hall of Fame patches had been canceled.<\/p>\n \u201cHey\u00a0@profootballhof, what were the \u2018unforeseen circumstances\u2019?\u201d she captioned the post<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite the snub, Belichick \u2014 who has been public about his relationship with Hudson since 2024 \u2014 is focused on UNC\u2019s year ahead, which includes four new QBs<\/a> and new offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino.<\/p>\n
