Numerous emails from University of North Carolina donors, alumni, and faculty reveal how angry many of them are over the school’s hiring of Bill Belichick and the presence of the coach’s young girlfriend Jordon Hudson. The emails, which were obtained through a public records request, show a stunning lack of support for the Tar Heels’ new football coach.
In one email obtained by DailyMail.com, a donor wrote, “What a total embarrassment to UNC. I am withdrawing all my donations and future donations.”
In another email from a University of North Carolina faculty member, the disgruntled employee complained about there not being “enough money to hire the numbers of professors we need, but paying a 73-year-old guy with no college football experience [sic] 10 millions is OK (and then letting him hire his son)?”
Much of the criticism from donors, alumni and faculty was levied at North Carolina’s director of athletics Bubba Cunningham. Cunningham, it was announced last week, will be transitioning to a newly created advisory role in 2026: the senior adviser to the chancellor and athletic director.
“When you agreed to pay a king’s ransom to hire Bill Belichick, did you also know that you [were] hiring Jordon Hudson to serve as the primary face of UNC athletics?” one faculty member wrote to Cunningham in an email. “Normally I would say the University should not concern itself with its employees’ personal lives. But when a prominent employee injects his significant other into the University’s affairs, it becomes the University’s concern. … She’s already an embarrassment and it’s only going to get worse. Please end this circus before the season begins.”
In another email to then director of athletics Bubba Cunningham, someone wrote, “Jordon Hudson has no business getting involved with Belichick’s work-related business at Chapel Hill unless she’s on your payroll. It’s bad enough the nepotism you’ve allowed by also hiring Belichick’s son.”
Another UNC grad wrote to Cunningham, “Bill Belichick is a disgrace to our university. … Please do something.”
Amidst all of this noise, Bill Belichick will look to quiet these naysayers and more on Sept. 1 when the Tar Heels host TCU in his first game ever as a college coach.
