Bill Belichick faces potential problem as UNC football coach due to girlfriend Jordon Hudson's manager role image

North Carolina football coach Bill Belichick didn't win over many fans Sunday morning when he and his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, were seen on "CBS Sunday Mornings" to promote Belichick's new book. 

Titled "The Art of Winning," Belichick began to discuss how football impacted his life before the conversation then shifted to his girlfriend and how the internet has reacted to the couple's togetherness.

When Tony Dokoupil asked the former Super Bowl-winning coach how he and Hudson met, Hudson immediately barged in, offering a now-viral shutdown of any relationship discussions.

"We're not talking about this," Hudson said in a snarky tone.

Over a day has come and gone since the interview. Reportedly, TMZ uncovered the real story behind the interview, which doesn't look good for Belichick.

Hudson was allegedly picky the entire interview, thus criticizing every little detail, which included her almost scrapping the conversation from existence after she would "correct" Belichick every chance she could.

CBS had to work diligently to put together the piece, which ran a little under 10 minutes. Belichick appeared disheveled and unlike himself, leaving many to suspect that Hudson has complete control of his life.

It's fair to consider longer term how this impacts the internal dynamics at North Carolina.

The end of the TMZ report was especially telling. UNC has caught wind of what happened, and it appears the university is the furthest thing from thrilled with Belichick's well-being.

"A growing sense this could become a problem," the source told TMZ regarding the relationship.

Hudson appeared to not have a care in the world, as the 24-year-old went back to posting pictures on Instagram as if everything was normal.

It's rather obvious something is off and the 73-year-old legend may need to find a solution before he's coached his first game in Chapel Hill.

For now, it remains to be seen if this story dies off or if this is only the beginning of something far bigger.
