The UNC Tar Heels’ head coach, Bill Belichick, was denied a well-deserved honor by the Pro Football Hall of Fame last week. You’d think that winning eight Super Bowls guarantees you a first-ballot selection, but not for the former New England boss. Since then, the decision has been unanimously derided across sports. Now, to cheer him up more, Jordon Hudson has something for the head coach.

Hudson is planning a mega bash to celebrate Bill Belichick on the same day as the induction ceremony this year. Belichick’s partner even went the extra mile by inviting guests like Tom Brady and Bill Parcells, who are scheduled to attend the HoF event at Canton.

According to PEOPLE, the party coincides with the Hall of Fame induction ceremony because a majority of the invitees “were already planning to travel to support Bill.” Without a doubt, this gala will have a host of Belichick supporters. One source told the publication outright that “[the] purpose of the bash is to celebrate alongside all of his people.” This event will now rival the glitz and glamor of the HOF ceremony because the veteran coach’s snub caused a massive shock to ripple through the NFL world.

However divided the community may be on Belichick as a college coach, it stands united in the belief that he is unlike any coach the NFL has seen in its history. As head coach of the Patriots, Belichick ruled the NFL, winning six Super Bowls. His snub from the Hall of Fame voting was not expected, as the honor was long overdue. Many believe that the controversies that erupted during his tenure with the Patriots cost him those precious votes. Some are also of the opinion that his relationship with Jordon Hudson was why he missed out on the first ballot.

Missing out on the Hall of Fame honor rubs more salt in Bill Belichick‘s wounds from the past year. He came to college football after being turned away from other NFL opportunities but failed to impress on his debut. The Tar Heels’ head coach had to settle for a 4-8 record, a figure he isn’t used to as a head coach. Belichick couldn’t help but sink into despair a little bit after failing to qualify for the first ballot.

Bill Belichick absolutely let down by the HoF miss

The legendary coach’s snub from the HOF was quite shocking, given the weight his name carries in the NFL even today. The who’s who of the sport voiced their disappointment that Belichick didn’t make the cut—even NBA icon LeBron James was angry that the coach was ignored. But no one was hurt by the news more than Belichick.

“Six Super Bowls isn’t enough?” the coach asked an associate after getting the results, ESPN reported. That one sentence is proof enough of how dejected he was. “What does a guy have to do?” he added.

Only someone who came out of living under a rock and saw Belichick’s recent struggles in college football could agree with the HOF voting results. But it’s clear to the rest of the community that there’s something dirty in play here. Bill Belichick will have no option but to wait for the 2027 edition and try his luck once again. Until then, he can look forward to the massive bash Jordon Hudson is hosting in his honor.
