Reporter David Pollack Calls Jordon Hudson ‘Hot Honey Walking the Sidelines’
Former ESPN personality David Pollack couldn’t help but reference Bill Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, when discussing his thoughts about the University of North Carolina football program.
Pollack, 43, gave his assessment of the Tar Heels’ upcoming season on the Tuesday, July 8, episode of his “See Ball Get Ball” podcast. Belichick, 73, was officially announced as the head coach at the Chapel Hill university in December 2024.
“I have no clue what to expect from Chapel Bill except a hot honey walking the sidelines,” Pollack said, referencing Hudson, 23. “That’s all I know is going to happen.”
Belichick and Hudson went public with their relationship in October 2024 after months of speculation that they were dating.

Hudson was front and center for Belichick’s introductory press conference at the University of North Carolina last year, and was seen wearing high-heeled boots on the field at the team’s spring game in April.
Despite Hudson’s controversial place in Belichick’s life, however, Pollack said he was still willing to “bet” on the former New England Patriots head coach’s first foray into college football.
Pollack, who was laid off from ESPN in 2023, referenced his own experience of trying to find an NFL home after a celebrated career as a linebacker at the University of Georgia.
“One room was very different, and that was the Patriots with Belichick,” Pollack said. “He chimed in, he asked questions. He asked questions about the scar on my head. No one else asked about that. No one else asked about the accident when I fell down the stairs on a house boat.”
Belichick and North Carolina open the 2025 season on September 1 against TCU.
Hudson’s place within the North Carolina football program has been one of much debate and speculation.
In May, podcaster and journalist Pablo Torre reported that Hudson was “no longer allowed in the football building, she is not allowed on the football field.”
“I don’t think you’ll be hearing much from Jordon moving forward,” Torre, 39, said a source at the school told him on his podcast, “Pablo Torre Finds Out.”
Bill Belichick Says Jordon Hudson Has Nothing 'To Do With UNC Football'
Shortly after the podcast episode was released, the university responded to Torre’s reporting.
“While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities,” Carolina Athletics said in a statement to Us Weekly on Friday, May 9. “Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick’s personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University.”
Torre responded in swift order on social media to the school’s rebuttal.
“UNC can now choose to describe or change its position on Jordon Hudson’s involvement however it wishes, following the publication of our episode,” Torre posted via X. “We requested comment and filed dozens of FOIA requests that were not satisfied. And we stand by the specific reporting in our episode, which came from the highest levels of the football program.”
