Nothing has gone Bill Belichick‘s way during the 2025 college football season. His debut season in college football has been a disaster, as his North Carolina Tar Heels are one of the worst teams in the ACC. Paired with several violations by him and his staff, his future at UNC is up in the air.
His relationship with Jordon Hudson has brought the 73-year-old happiness, but her presence at UNC’s football facilities even caused some controversy and another headache for Belichick. The legendary football coach hasn’t looked like himself in a long time, but he has finally received some great news this week, and it has nothing to do with UNC or Hudson. Instead, it has to do with his past.
Bill Belichick gets one step closer to Pro Football Hall of Fame
On Tuesday, news broke that 12 coaches had advanced in the selection process for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2026.

- Tom Coughlin
- Alex Gibbs

- Dan Reeves
- Marty Schottenheimer
- George Seifert
- Mike Shanahan
- Clark Shaughnessy

It’s a nice breath of fresh air for Belichick, who has been drowning in public criticism during his time at UNC. A trip in time back to his NFL glory days could give him a jolt of energy to finish his college football season.
