Earlier this offseason, it was reported that Bill Belichick and the UNC football program would be featured on Hard Knocks after NFL Films could not find an NFL team for the show this year. Less than a week later, that plan fell through as the two sides "couldn't reach an agreement."
Right after, Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reported that a deal was nixed because NFL owners were unhappy about Belichick getting featured on an NFL Films platform while with a college team. Last month, The Athletic reported that Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, played an "instrumental role" in the deal falling through after her requested to be "heavily involved."
