Bill Belichick has won six Super Bowls as a head coach, yet he’s still on the outside looking in at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. What might make the snub sting even more to the head coach is that the reason might be too close to home, his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordan Hudson. But Jordan is not backing off just because their relationship has been tagged “creepy” by fans, instead she is planning a comeback for this snub. 

As per BCS News, voters were uncomfortable with the controversy surrounding Bill Bechick’s age-gap relationship with Jordan Hudson. The age gap became a talking point during the Hall of Fame voting discussion, which didn’t support his candidacy as a result. 

“This wasn’t whispered. It was discussed,” An insider said of Belichick and Hudson’s romance, per Rob Shuter’s ShuterScoop. People kept asking, ‘Do we really want this to be part of his legacy right now?’ The word ‘creepy’ came up more than once.”

Belichick was brought into the Hall of Fame discussion after leaving the NFL for coaching UNC. Though Belichick had already been linked to Hudson, the relationship was only in its initial stages. While reports suggested Hudson’s involvement was beyond football, Belichick denied the rumors. However, their public appearance caught the eyes. Which now stood as a block for his Hall of Fame snub, per an insider.

“The timing killed him,” another insider shared. “If this had surfaced years after his induction, no one would care. But voters vote on legacy, not just stats.” Reports also revealed that some observers who fully endorsed Belichick’s Hall of Fame induction felt uncomfortable with their relationship, thinking that they could have risked damaging the image of the sport. 

“It started to feel inappropriate to people,” an insider shared. “Not illegal. Not immoral. But deeply uncomfortable. And voters see themselves as guardians of the game’s image.”

Amidst all the noise, Jordan Hudson might be planning a “sweet revenge” over this snub. According to PEOPLE, she is planning a huge bash for Belichick, and on the same day as the 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The apparent names on the invite list are Jimmy Johnson, Tom Brady, and Bill Parcells. Will this shift attention from the official ceremony honoring figures such as Robert Kraft, Roger Craig, and Kenny Anderson? Time will tell. Well, for now, Belichick will be eligible again in 2027.

Bill Belichick was omitted by 80% HOF voters

Bill Belichick, with an NFL coaching record of 333-178, including playoffs, is the second most successful NFL head coach, only behind Don Shula’s 347. He won 17 division titles, the most by an NFL head coach, and nine conference championships. In the Super Bowl era, he made 12 appearances, including his time as an assistant with the Giants. He won 21 seasons, which is the fifth most in NFL history. 

With an untouchable record in the modern era, Belichick was widely considered by fans as a first-ballot lock. However, Belichick fell short of 40 out of 50 votes needed for the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction eligibility. Following the outcome, Belichick was informed by the Hall of Fame representative that he won’t be inducted this summer, in Canton, Ohio.

While fans and football personnel shared their disappointment with Belichick’s inability to secure support from at least 80% of the Hall committee members, a spokesperson gave a statement.
