Bill Belichick's Girlfriend Comes to His Defense After Dave Portnoy Suggests He Retire

Who needs a defensive line when you've got a Jordon Hudson?

Don't mess with Bill Belichick...unless you want to hear from his 24-year-old girlfriend. Barstool owner Dave Portnoy made that mistake this past weekend, when he suggested it might be time for UNC's football coach to throw in the towel.

"I got a thumbs down from her," Portnoy revealed during the latest episode of the Barstool Pick Em podcast. "I got a [direct message]. Just a thumbs down."

On the podcast, co-host Dan 'Big Cat' Katz asked Portnoy if he'd sent Hudson something to provoke her message.

"I didn't send her nothing."

But then Hank Lockwood reminded Portnoy of the less than favorable commentary he made about the former New England Patriots head coach this past weekend. "Didn't you say, like, they have to get Belichick out of there?"

"I said something to that effect," Portnoy acquiesced.

What Did Portnoy Actually Say About Belichick?

On Saturday, Portnoy ripped Belichick in a series of posts to X. Belichick's Tarheels lost to Wake Forest, 28-12, dropping them to 4-6 this season.

"Watching UNC is so frustrating. It’s like an alien stole Belichick’s brain. Just horribly coached. Horrible decisions," he wrote during the game. "Belichick needs to retire," he'd write later. "This is disgusting. I’m not even sure he knows the score or where he is."

Making fun of Hudson, who is a former collegiate cheerleader and national champion, who recently participated in an adult cheerleading competition (with Belichick in attendance), likely didn't help Portnoy's cause, either.

Hudson's History

Belichick, 73, and Hudson reportedly started dating in 2023 after initially meeting two years prior. Since going public with their relationship, Hudson has been scrutinized for infiltrating Belichick's orbit, influencing him on and off the field.

This spring, Hudson went viral for derailing an interview Belichick gave to CBS News' Sunday Morning. When the 8-time Super Bowl champion was asked about his romantic relationship with Hudson, she quickly shut things down. "We’re not talking about this," she said.

A month after that interview, Belichick addressed Hudson's role in his life. “It’s a personal relationship. And she doesn’t have anything to do with UNC football,” he told SportsCenter in May.
