"The series, which was set to follow UNC throughout the entirety of the season, was actually UNC's second crack at a documentary of Belichick's inaugural college campaign, but an earlier project with HBO's "Hard Knocks" was also scrapped over the summer. Reports in the aftermath of the "Hard Knocks" decision cited discomfort with the role Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, would play in the project. However, UNC strongly denied that and said the decision was ultimately Belichick's."
"Documents obtained by ESPN in a public records request showed that Hudson would have likely had a sizable role in any documentary, with a "talking points" memo from the school's PR department noting, "Jordon is playing an active role in the filming and production of a documentary about Coach Belichick's first season of college football, so in that capacity, she may be seen on the sidelines of Carolina Football practices or games.""
North Carolina canceled plans for a Hulu documentary that would have followed Bill Belichick's inaugural college season after a 2-3 start. The Hulu project was a second attempt following an earlier HBO "Hard Knocks" effort that was scrapped over the summer. Reports pointed to concerns about the potential role of Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, though UNC denied that and said the decision was Belichick's. Public records indicated Hudson likely would appear on sidelines in any documentary. The cancellation also aligns with on-field struggles, as the Heels lost their first three Power Four games by a combined 120-33. Belichick has offered little public criticism of the team.
