During a recent interview with The Pivot Podcast, North Carolina coach Bill Belichick took a sudden turn to share some alternative facts regarding the disconnect between UNC and the Hard Knocks franchise.

Shortly before NFL Films and HBO were set to announce the docuseries, Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, demanded both content approval and partial ownership of the show, according to Katherine Rosman of The New York Times.

In the wake of a report by The Athletic that the docuseries "Hard Knocks" featuring North Carolina fell apart due to the involvement of coach Bill Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, he denied that was the reason.
