Bill Belichick, former New England Patriots head coach and current North Carolina Tar Heels coach, has faced his share of hate from the media. This has been even more so in the last few months as a result of his relationship with 24-year-old Jordon Hudson. However, all this heat from the media is not only because of his highly publicized romantic relationship, but also simply because the media hates him ,according to former NFL defensive end, Chris Long.
In the latest episode of his ‘Green Light with Chris Long’ podcast, Long shared his opinions with Ryan Clark, that Belichick has always managed to be the boss off all press conferences during his time in the NFL. It is widely known that Belichick hated discussions with reporters and often gave blunt and retorted answers. However, since the renowned coach is no longer with the league, the media is trying their best to paint Belichick in a bad light.
“He was a lot cooler than at least I thought he would be. And (what) I do kinda hate is, when he moved out from us, go to North Carolina, everything’s been about his relationship. I feel like some of the equity he built up doing TV, they took away from him.” Ryan Clark spokeabout Bill Belichick in his most recent appearance on the ‘Green Light with Chris Long’ podcast.
“A lot of people have been waiting to beat Bill up because he’s always had the upper hand with the media,” Chris Long said to Clark.
Bill Belichick has, of course, been facing plenty of criticism over the last couple of months surrounding the huge age gap he shares with his girlfriend, Hudson. Hudson was also condemned for apparently taking over the reins of Belichick’s personal life and career, after she seemed to be exerting control during the former NFL coach’s book promotions.

One particular donor called Belichick’s hiring a “total embarrassment to UNC”. Still another donor called out the university for not doing enough to hire the right professors, and managing to invest millions in Belichick, who has not coached a college football team in his career, ever.
