Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has once again found himself in the spotlight and its not for his football tactics, but for dozing off at a basketball game. The 72-year-old NFL legend was spotted at a University of North Carolina (UNC) game alongside his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, and social media had a field day reacting to the moment.
Bill Belichick’s Nap at UNC Game Goes Viral
Belichick and Hudson attended the UNC vs. NC State game at the Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill, where they were captured on video by spectators. However, what caught the internet’s attention wasn’t just their courtside presence, it was Belichick appearing to be fast asleep in the middle of the action.
The video quickly went viral, with users commenting on how the age gap between the two was evident in the moment. While Hudson and a friend seemed engaged in the game, Belichick looked more interested in catching some shut-eye.
Adding to the intrigue, the couple was later filmed leaving the arena, with Belichick bundled up for the chilly weather while Hudson casually draped her jacket over her shoulders - a detail that also became a talking point on social media.
As expected, Fans wasted no time in turning the incident into a meme fest.
One X user joked, "Being 72 years old and having a girlfriend who wears her jacket like this is kind of crazy."
Others pointed out Belichick walking ahead of Hudson without acknowledging her, with one commenting, "Looks like she's a bored teenager hanging with her PawPaw."
Another remarked, "The way she walks is child-like. Serious granddaughter energy here."
While some found humor in the situation, others speculated about the dynamics of their relationship, questioning whether Belichick truly respects his much-younger partner.
Will Bill Belichick Return to Coaching?
Belichick, who stepped down as Patriots head coach after 24 seasons, has been in the headlines for more than just football lately. His relationship with Hudson first made waves last year when he was spotted leaving her house shirtless in a now-famous viral video.
Despite the age difference, the couple appears to be going strong, frequently making public appearances together. Whether Belichick will return to coaching or continue to enjoy his time off remains to be seen, but for now, he’s giving the internet plenty to talk about - whether he’s awake for it or not.
