People have been asking Bill Belichick about his relationship with his girlfriend Jordon Hudson for a while now and Belichick is at the point where he's pretty much writing those questions off.

This week the North Carolina head football coach was asked to give his response to the recent criticisms that his relationship has sparked along with the controversies. With just a five-word answer, he pretty much let the issue go:

"It is what it is," he replied.

Belichick made it clear that his focus is UNC. He acknowledged that there may be "noise out there" but that his job is to build a football team and help his athletes build their careers.

“Look, I’m really focused on doing my job here at North Carolina… that’s my big focus,” Belichick said. “Is there noise out there? We’ve always dealt with that. Really, our job is to build a football team and… help build the team and also build their individual careers. So that’s really where we’re at.”

Belichick was asked again about the controversies surrounding his personal life and if they've been a distraction. He diverted the discussion to the book he wrote and spoke about that instead.

“Again, on some of the noise that’s out there and the book and stuff like that, it is what it is,” the eight-time Super Bowl winner said. “That’s a personal venture I entered into when I wasn’t in coaching last year.”

Lastly, he was asked if we can expect to see Hudson on the sidelines during the 2025 college football season. That actually sparked a rare laugh out of the Tar Heels head coach.

“No, she doesn’t have any role in the UNC football program, but, again, there’s been noise out there about a lot of different things. Again, our focus is day to day, getting better, and stacking good days together. Having good rest, recovery, and training. Moving forward the next day.”

The 2025 North Carolina season was always going to be an interesting one. But these recent controversies involving Hudson are only going to amplify the interest tenfold.

They open the season against TCU on September 1.
