Jordon Hudson torches Bill Belichick's ex Linda Holliday after discovering letter she now calls ‘delusional'
Jordon Hudson hits back at Linda Holliday's private letter in fiery online feud over Bill Belichick (Getty Images) Things are heating up off the football field for former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, but this time, the drama isn't about playbooks—it's about a fiery love triangle making waves on social media. His current girlfriend, 24-year-old pageant contestant Jordon Hudson, has allegedly taken direct aim at his longtime ex-partner Linda Holliday in a now-viral Instagram exchange. Instagram war explodes as Jordon Hudson exposes Linda Holliday's 'delusional' letter to Bill Belichick According to the Daily Mail, Hudson was engaged in a heated back-and-forth with someone she believed to be close to Holliday. The argument ignited when the woman allegedly branded Hudson a 'gold digger' and accused her of taking advantage of the 73-year-old NFL legend. Hudson, however, did not hold back in her response and delivered a blistering message that included references to a letter Holliday wrote to Belichick nearly a decade ago. 'Hey babes! Since you are tight with Ms Holliday, would you please ask her what she would like me to do with this letter I found from 2015?' Hudson reportedly wrote in a message shared via screenshot. She added, 'Due to its pathetic and embarrassing content, I imagine she wants it back. She should make the point to burn it so she continue [sic] to live in delusional denial.' The letter in question was supposedly found by Hudson at Belichick's $2.2 million Hingham home in an old invoice file. In it, Holliday had allegedly poured out her frustrations over being excluded from aspects of Belichick's life and his ongoing loyalty to ex-wife Debbie Clarke. Holliday had written, 'I'm the one that loves and adores you... tries to ALWAYS remind you how grateful I am of your love,' expressing feelings of being sidelined in favor of Clarke, despite her love and commitment to the coach. Belichick and Holliday were together for 16 years before parting ways in 2023. Shortly after, Belichick's romance with Hudson became public. The couple reportedly first met on a flight in 2021 and have since been spotted attending high-profile events, including the NFL Honors. But Hudson's entry into Belichick's world has been far from seamless. Page Six reports that she has been 'iced out' by Nantucket's elite social scene—where Holliday remains a central figure. Her growing influence in Belichick's post-Patriots chapter has raised eyebrows too, especially after she was seen on the field at UNC, where Belichick has taken a new role. Some reports suggest she's even being looped into work emails and possibly pitching involvement in media projects like Hard Knocks. Despite the noise, Belichick has publicly defended Hudson, stating she leads his 'professional opportunities' outside UNC. Whether this storm settles or intensifies remains to be seen—but one thing is clear: this isn't your typical offseason drama.

Jordon Hudson reignites feud with Bill Belichick's ex Linda Holliday, calls 'pathetic and delusional' after finding shocking private letter

Where Athlon Sports predicts UNC football to finish in 2025
Here is where Athlon Spots predicts the UNC football program to finish in 2025 The dynamics, style of play, and players themselves are completely different for this North Carolina football team from the past years. The roster that has been put together by new head coach and former NFL coach Bill Belichick is one that he can coach to success. However, speculation still surrounds the idea of Belichick and success at the college level. In Mack Brown's last year at the helm of the Tar Heels, UNC finished with a 6-7 overall record and a 3-5 record against teams in the conference. That record was ranked No. 13 of the conference's 17 teams. There is projected optimism by Athlton Sports and On3, that have the Tar Heels ranked inside the top 10 at No. 9 in their projected finishes for all the Atlantic Coast Conference teams. According to Athlon Sports: "North Carolina dominated the college football offseason headlines following the surprise hiring of six-time Super Bowl champion head coach Bill Belichick, even if it wasn't always for the right reasons. Still, the Tar Heels are all-in on Belichick and believe a coach of his NFL caliber will ultimately pay major dividends at North Carolina. A lot will rest on the shoulders of new transfer QB Gio Lopez (South Alabama), who is one of two dozen new additions that will be counted on in 2025." To put that ranking into perspective, the No. 9 team last year in the ACC, Boston College, finished 7-6 overall and 4-4 against teams in the conference. Not much of an improvement, should that record remain the same, but it is an improvement nonetheless. The longer Belichick remains steering the ship, the better the Tar Heels will become.

When 73-year-old Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old GF Jordan Hudson stirred controversy with their yoga poses
A couple of months ago, on March 15, former Patriots coach Bill Belichick and his young girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, transformed a quiet stretch of shoreline into a lively yoga studio. Hudson, a former college cheerleader, shared a carousel of images on Instagram that depicted the pair executing challenging poses against the backdrop of ocean waves. Within hours, fans and critics alike were scrolling through every frame—from the coach lying flat in the sand to Hudson soaring overhead—to comment on their age gap. The photos depicted the two in arduous yoga poses, leading fans to hardly believe the 73-year-old coach was able to balance strength and grace in such a manner. However, Jordan, as she cheekily captioned, believed that they had '#StillGotIt.' Sun, sand and 'Billates': What did Jordan post? On her Instagram post, Hudson wrote, '#SpringBreak #UsTime #StillGotIt,' with a sun and bicep emoji. In one shot, Belichick lay on his back with legs bent, supporting Hudson as she extended her left leg straight up, toes pointed perfectly. Another image showed Hudson smiling broadly with arms and legs outstretched behind her back, demonstrating both flexibility and trust in her partner. Dressed in a white one-piece swimsuit with side cutouts, Hudson contrasted with Belichick's casual T-shirt and shorts. A week later, she followed up with a video captioned of the session, 'My favorite workout? #Billates #GoatYoga,' reinforcing their playful fitness routine. Defending their relationship after a follower calls Hudson 'insane' The yoga snaps arrived just one day after Hudson confronted a critic who labeled their relationship ' insane.' As reported by People, she reposted a direct message from a follower, stressing that harassing someone about their personal life 'is insane, right?' She also launched an Instagram Story poll on whether 'Abby's manners' or 'Abby's punctuation skills' were worse, even going so far as to tag the user. This swift response made it quite clear that Hudson was ready to stand up for their unconventional romance. Bill Belichick: From dodging questions to joking In contrast, Belichick originally remained silent on the matter. During a CBS News interview in April, he was asked about the viral yoga photos with Hudson. Rather than answer, the 73-year-old refused to engage with the question, and Hudson abruptly ended the interview. The awkward exchange made headlines, especially as scrutiny around their relationship built up. As per Page Six, he remained tight-lipped again during a later Good Morning America appearance, where Michael Strahan asked, 'What does Jordon mean to you?' Belichick briefly replied, 'We have good personal relationship,' before firmly adding, 'I'm not talking about personal relationships, Michael.' Finally, on The Pivot podcast released on May 16, 2025, the famously stoic coach lightened up. When asked once more about the beach yoga photos, he reportedly smiled and said he did it because he was 'trying to stay young'—a quip that offered rare insight into a relationship he had previously kept firmly out of bounds.

What If ... the Patriots Had Never Fired Bill Belichick?
Bill Belichick can tell everyone that he doesn't care about the NFL's all-time wins record. Don't believe him. He must. It's the record that could cement him as the greatest coach of all time — beyond dispute. He'd have the most Super Bowl victories and the most wins. What else would the GOAT need on his résumé? And Belichick was only 15 wins away when the New England Patriots fired him after the 2023 season. To make matters worse, the other 31 NFL teams showed little interest in Belichick over the past two hiring cycles. He'd been tantalizingly close to a fairy-tale ending, but now that he's coaching in college at North Carolina, the 73-year-old Belichick seems far away from reaching his ultimate goal. On Jan. 11, 2023, Patriots owner Robert Kraft announced he was moving on from Belichick after a 4-13 season, his third below-.500 record in his final four years in New England. As Tom Brady thrived in Tampa Bay, even winning a Super Bowl with the Buccaneers in his first season post-Patriots, Belichick's act wore thin in New England. Media, fans and players were turning on him. Kraft decided to follow the court of public opinion. WHAT IF the Patriots hadn't fired Bill Belichick? Did he have to go? After 24 years with Belichick, Kraft could have stood by the coach. As rough as it got for the Patriots, it stands to reason that arguably the greatest coach in NFL history could have been given one more chance to pull the team out of its tailspin. And with hindsight being 20-20, the Patriots didn't improve after firing Belichick. Jerod Mayo led New England to another 4-13 season last year and was dismissed. That's how Mike Vrabel ended up with the job for 2025. But if we play the what-if game, if the Patriots had stuck with Belichick, I think they would have been a totally different football team in 2024 — and in 2025. I think Belichick might have even used that 2024 season to turn the franchise around. And during this coming season, the Patriots would have been in position to get the wins he needed, and so badly wanted, to pass Don Shula as the all-time winningest NFL coach. Here's how. Patriots hire Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator McDaniels is actually the team's current OC. But he wasn't last year. The Patriots rode with Alex Van Pelt, whom Mayo hired. Kraft loves McDaniels, and so it makes perfect sense that, with OC Bill O'Brien leaving for Boston College after a tough 2023 season in New England, Belichick would scoop up McDaniels — yet again. And yet again, McDaniels would prove he's one of the best coordinators in the NFL, even if he can't make it work as a head coach. Belichick actually "burns some cash" on key free agents Back in 2024, Mayo got into hot water for telling the media that the Patriots were "ready to burn some cash" in free agency. He walked back his comments and New England ultimately had a quiet offseason — electing not to use the boatload of cash that Belichick had been saving. But if Kraft had decided to hold onto Belichick, then the Patriots might have handled things differently. Because Belichick probably had a plan for the 2025 offseason. That was why he'd been saving. Much like New England did in reality, Belichick would've retained tackle Michael Onwenu and safety Kyle Dugger. He may not have retained running back Rhamondre Stevenson — and that's because I genuinely wonder if Belichick would have chased Saquon Barkley. After Barkley left the Giants for the Eagles, Belichick expressed his disbelief that New York had even let him hit free agency. "He was their best player," Belichick told "The Pat McAfee Show." I suspect Belichick would've done everything he could have to get Barkley into the Patriots' Red, White and Blue. It's hard to imagine Barkley picking the Patriots over the Eagles, but I think Belichick could have made it a really tough choice for the star running back. And if not Barkley, what about Derrick Henry? That 2024 free-agent running back class was loaded, and I could see the Patriots bringing in a big name at the RB position. And I don't think Belichick would have stopped there. Some of his favorite free-agent tendencies were: 1) reuniting with former Patriots who'd lost favor elsewhere and 2) stealing young, talented players from divisional rivals. I could, for example, see the Patriots bringing back Pro Bowl corner Stephon Gilmore. I could also see them targeting edge Andrew Van Ginkel and center Connor Williams, a pair of former Dolphins (who landed with the Vikings and Seahawks, respectively). Patriots draft QB Bo Nix and first-round LT Tyler Guyton after a blockbuster deal with the Giants in the 2024 NFL Draft New York was in love with Drake Maye. Everyone knew that. But after New England selected the North Carolina QB at No. 3 overall last year, it was also clear during Belichick's in-draft analysis on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he wasn't in love with Maye . Belichick was, however, effusive (by Belichick's standards) in praising Oregon QB Bo Nix during that same draft show. "It looks like he's pretty — nobody's NFL-ready — but I'd say of the college quarterbacks, he's probably pretty close to being NFL-ready," Belichick said of Nix while chatting with Broncos coach Sean Payton . "And like you said, the best quarterback in the pocket. The best quarterback in the situations. There's a lot to like about this kid. And he wins." So Belichick would figure out how to win the draft — in his own controversial way. (It's the only way he knew how to run the draft.) Even with a league-wide consensus about the top three quarterbacks — Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Maye — Belichick would take an offer from the Giants to move back from No. 3 to sixth overall. In the process, the coach would've gotten the No. 6 pick and New York's 2025 first-rounder, among other assets. At No. 6, the Patriots could snag Nix, who would fit nicely into McDaniels' system. "Nix has played a lot of football, and he's played a lot of good football. It kind of felt like the short passing game was a product of the system, but he can definitely get the ball down the field," Belichick said on ESPN. I don't think Belichick would've stopped his wheeling and dealing there. The class of free-agent tackles was weak in 2024. So I suspect Belichick would have swapped his high second-round pick and his newly acquired draft assets from the Giants to move back into the first round to nab a left tackle. Arizona's Jordan Morgan and Oklahoma's Tyler Guyton were both within striking distance for New England. I like Guyton, whose athletic profile compares favorably to another former Patriots first-round tackle, Nate Solder. From Solder to Trent Brown to Sebastian Vollmer, Belichick loved mountains at tackle. The Patriots acquire Brandon Aiyuk from the 49ers New England had been talking to San Francisco about acquiring Aiyuk before the 49ers signed the star receiver to an extension last August. San Francisco reportedly was willing to accept New England's offer: a 2025 second-round pick, 2026 fourth-round pick and veteran wideout Kendrick Bourne. The Patriots then would've had to ink Aiyuk to a substantial new deal. But Aiyuk balked at the idea of joining New England in flux. What if Belichick had been there to convince the All-Pro receiver? The offense would have looked totally different in 2024 under Belichick's vision. Maybe he could have convinced Aiyuk to team up with an impressive free-agent class, McDaniels, Nix and a young left tackle. With a strong rookie season, Bo Nix helps the Patriots get back into the NFL's middle class New England's defense would look stronger under Belichick than it did with Mayo. It's hard to imagine the Patriots making the playoffs last season, even with the adjustments to the roster that I've presented. But there would be a groundswell of optimism if Nix looked as impressive as he did with the Broncos. He finished his rookie season in Denver with 3,775 passing yards, 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. If he could match that in New England, Belichick would keep his job for yet another year. And so the Patriots could finish the 2024 season with, say, eight wins — a vast improvement on what actually happened (four wins). Would Belichick clinch the all-time wins record in 2025? Would the Patriots return to Super Bowl contention? After an eight-win season, Belichick would've been just seven wins shy of breaking Shula's record. In that case, 2025 would be his year. But not before he put a few finishing touches on New England's roster during the offseason. Coming off an 8-9 record, the Patriots would have two picks in the top 15 of the 2025 draft, including a likely top-five pick from the Giants. (Drake Maye would have helped New York last season, but likely not enough to move the Giants out of the top five, where the Patriots landed with him.) New England would have no shortage of options for playmakers on both sides of the ball. But I'd bet that Belichick would have his eyes on edge Abdul Carter and/or DT Mason Graham in the top five. Then, around 15th, you can bet the Patriots would have interest in linebacker Jalon Walker, receiver Emeka Egbuka and guard Grey Zabel. And the Patriots would have enough money to spend freely on free agents, even if they wouldn't have the same haul as this year under Vrabel. There's a lot of optimism around Vrabel's Patriots after the team's busy offseason. It's easy to imagine a similar optimism around New England in this alternate-universe Belichick team. He'd be back in the game on defense. His offense would be on the rise under Nix, McDaniels, Aiyuk and others. It might be vintage Belichick — rather than expired Belichick. WHAT IF Bill Belichick hadn't been fired by the Patriots? We might not just be talking about Belichick getting his record and New England returning to the playoffs in 2025. We might even be talking about when the Patriots will win the Super Bowl again.
