There’s an ‘Absolutely Real Chance’ Bill Belichick Doesn’t Coach a Game at UNC, Pablo Torre Says

Sports pundit Pablo Torre believes there is an “absolutely real chance” that coach Bill Belichick’s relationship with his much-younger flame may spoil his gig at the University of North Carolina before he ever hits the field for an actual game.
On Monday’s The Dominique Foxworth Show, Torre said negative publicity surrounding 73-year-old Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson may mean Belichick doesn’t make it to his team’s first game in the fall.
“I think there’s a chance, an absolutely real chance that he doesn’t [make it],” Torre said. “And the reason I say that is because even before the Jordon Hudson thing became as public, even before it went from messy backstage to now, obviously messy everywhere, the date that matters the most is June 1.”
On June 1, Belichick’s contract buyout drops from $10 million to $1 million.
“The question everybody is asking is, are things so dysfunctional behind the scenes when it comes to the power struggle, when it comes to what they are telling Bill to do: don’t have Jordon around anymore. Stop behaving in the way that you have. Basically telling him for the first time, really, that you’re an employee and not the boss of this building in the way that he may have been assuming he would be, then there is the ability for him to get out of it,” Torre explained.
Belichick’s relationship had gained a ton of media attention over the age difference, with things coming to a head during a recent CBS interview where Hudson interrupted to insist that there be no questions about how she and the coach met.
“Is this something that’s sustainable? Is that fireable? What does he have to do to get fired? These are all active questions,” Torre said.
Torre recently reported on his Pable Torre Finds Out show that Hudson was reportedly banned from UNC’s football facility following the heated CBS interview.
