UNC HC Bill Belichick Fires Back on Breakup Rumors

The North Carolina Tar Heels came very close to pulling off the upset of the top-seeded Miami Hurricanes this past week.

North Carolina lost 38-35 at home, in what ended up being a very close contest between the two teams. This once again showed that the Tar Heels could hang with the best reams in the country, similar to the game against Notre Dame from a few weeks ago.

However, at head coach Bill Belichick's press conference on Monday, the veteran was asked about rumors surrounding his potential breakup with Jordon Hudson. Hudson and Belichick made waves last season, mainly due to the age difference between the two.

Belichick was 74 while Hudson was 25, leading to all sorts of fascination around the relationship of the two. But when asked about the rumors of the breakout, Belichick fired back at the reporter.

Like anyone, it seems that Belichick would prefer to keep his personal relationships to himself. But since Belichick took over at North Carolina, Hudson has been weirdly involved in the football program.

Her proximity to the program has been scrutinized over the years, with investigative reporter Pablo Torre claiming that she had been banned from the football facilities. The school denied the report, but this is just another example of what the Tar Heels have been dealing with.

Nonetheless, Belichick wouldn't confirm the report of the breakup, with TMZ standing by its reporting. 

On the field, Belichick has been working hard to get the Tar Heels program back on track, but it hasn't gone to plan. In his two years so far, Belichick has done 8-12 with North Carolina, with the team going 4-4 this season.

The Tar Heels had some momentum a few weeks ago before they dropped a game to the Syracuse Orange. And now, the loss to the Hurricanes this past weekend has seen them lose two straight games.

Belichick wants to focus on getting this team back on track, rather than talking about his relationships. The Tar Heels brought Belichick to town to win games, and as of right now, he hasn't lived up to that.

However, North Carolina has been better in his second season than his first, showing some signs of progress for the program. There have been calls for the program to fire Belichick, and if the veteran head coach wants to avoid that fate, the team will need to win a few more games this year.
