BILL BELICHICK IS GOING TO UNC: WHERE DOES HIS SALARY RANK AMONG OTHER COACHES
While an agreement is likely still being finalized, some preliminary production is already believed to be underway, a source told Front Office Sports.
UNC and Belichick were previously in line for a special edition of the normally NFL-centric show “Hard Knocks,” but conflicts over the creative direction appeared to create insurmountable roadblocks.
According to The Athletic, Belichick’s girlfriend — Jordon Hudson — had an “instrumental role” in HBO plugging the plug on the potential production of the UNC-focused docuseries.
A name for the last edition of the docuseries was not revealed.
Belichick won six Super Bowls during his lengthy tenure as the head coach of the New England Patriots.
