Bill Belichick Reportedly Interviewed with UNC Football Before Red Carpet Debut with Girlfriend Jordon Hudson

Bill Belichick is making moves this week.

Sources told ESPN and SI on Thursday, Dec. 5 — the same day that Belichick, 72, made his red carpet debut with 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson — that the 72-year-old former NFL coach reportedly interviewed with the University of North Carolina's Tar Heels for their head-coaching position.

According to ESPN, Belichick "wants to coach again" after leaving his longtime role as head coach of the New England Patriots, where he won six Super Bowl championships, in January.

The former NFL coach is also reportedly "open to listening to people at the college and NFL level" as he looks for a new gig, per ESPN's report. He had hoped to join another NFL team prior to this season, but was unable to find a job in time.

The Tar Heels fired their head coach Mack Brown on Nov. 26 after six seasons with the university.

According to ESPN, North Carolina had been hoping to hire Arthur Smith, the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator who is a UNC alum, but Smith reportedly turned down the school's offer because he wanted to stay in the NFL.

The news of Belichick's interview for a new head coaching position — first reported by Inside Carolina on Thursday — comes just after the longtime NFL coach made his first red carpet appearance with Hudson.
