When Bill Belichick, one of the country’s most famous football coaches, appeared on “CBS Sunday Morning” during the weekend to promote his new book, “The Art of Winn: Lessons in my life in football”, he tackled a certain number of subjects, including his apparent disdain for part-time speeches.
Football, said Mr. Belichick in his interview with Tony Dokoupil of CBS, really concerns the strategy: what does his opponent do? How should his team adapt?
“Identify a problem,” he continued, “understand a solution, then execute this plan to make it work”.
Jordon Hudson, the girlfriend of Mr. Belichick, 24, tried to do exactly this at one point in the interview, when Mr. Dokoupil asked Mr. Belichick, 73, how they had met.
“We are not talking about this,” said Hudson outside the producer’s table.
“No?” Mr. Dokoupil asked him.
“No,” said Hudson.
The representatives of Mr. Belichick and his school, the University of North Carolina, did not immediately respond to a request for comments on the interview, but her relationship with Ms. Hudson – and, of course, their age difference almost 49 years – was a source of intrigue since the couple was made public last year.
