Bill Belichick, the newly hired head coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has accused “CBS Sunday Morning” of creating a “false narrative” about his interview with Tony Dokoupil. The coach claims that the segment was selectively edited to make it appear as though his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, was trying to control the conversation. Belichick stated that he had agreed to focus solely on promoting his new book, but unrelated topics were introduced during the interview.
In a statement provided by UNC Chapel Hill, Belichick explained that he and Hudson met in 2021 on a flight to Palm Beach, contradicting the segment’s suggestion that they avoided discussing their relationship. The coach also claimed that the final 8-minute segment aired on “CBS Sunday Morning” does not reflect the full conversation, which covered a range of topics related to his career.
CBS News has responded, stating that there were no preconditions or limitations to the interview and that this was confirmed with Belichick’s publisher before and after the interview. The news network also notes that they are facing a separate lawsuit filed by President Trump over a “60 Minutes” segment featuring Kamala Harris.
