Bill Belichick says speculation about Jordon Hudson's significant involvement with UNC football was 'ridiculous'

Bill Belichick strongly refuted claims that his 25-year-old partner, Jordon Hudson, holds meaningful sway over the University of North Carolina football program. The Tar Heels head coach dismissed the circulating assertions as untruthful amid an undefeated 2-0 beginning to their campaign.

The pushback arrives as North Carolina prepares to open Atlantic Coast Conference play on the road against Dabo Swinney and Clemson. UNC faces that test without defensive coordinator Steve Belichick, who stepped away from team activities in August and remains away on an undetermined timeline.
