Bill Belichick is one of the most respected football head coaches of all time. His more than two-decade run with the New England Patriots cemented his place in history forever. However, before he has coached a single game with the North Carolina Tar Heels he has been facing massive scrutiny.
Now, North Carolina is making a fairly telling hire.

In the wake of the Bill Belichick-Jordan Hudson drama, the University of North Carolina is bringing in some major help:
Belichick, who took the North Carolina job in December, has been making all sorts of bad headlines lately, thanks to his 24-year-old girlfriend. Hudson, a former college cheerleader, has reportedly made her presence felt in a major way in Chapel Hill. She went viral for her behavior on a CBS “Sunday Morning” interview and is rumored to have been “banned” from the UNC football facility.
The Tar Heels denied the “banned” report, though Pablo Torre is adamant that higher-ups at UNC told her to stay away.
Amid all this drama, Belichick is trying to lead a college football program.
North Carolina has reportedly decided to bring in some major help amid the drama.
According to a report from Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, the Tar Heels have hired a PR veteran.
The Tar Heels are hiring former Chicago Bears PR chief Brandon Faber, according to Breer.

Faber will be working for North Carolina, not directly for Belichick. Still, he’ll essentially serve as the head of communications for the football program.
From the report:
A couple of things are worth adding here. One, Faber is being hired by UNC, rather than Belichick himself. His title is to be determined, but his role will be the de facto head of football communications. Two, Faber will be in attendance for the ACC coaches meetings which kick off today in Amelia Island, Fla.—which is a pretty good sign that he’s at the dotting-i’s and crossing-t’s portion of the hiring process.
Now, that North Carolina is making the hire itself, to me, is a good sign that the coach and school are working together to try to make all that’s gone wrong to this point right. This is me talking, but Belichick had rock-solid infrastructure around him in Foxborough over a quarter century, to the point where it was all turnkey for him and had been forever.

Belichick is set to be interviewed by Michael Strahan on Friday on “Good Morning America.”
It’ll be interesting to see how different that interview is compared to his previous viral one on CBS.
