NFL great Bill Belichick is poised to step back into the public eye, just a few weeks after his controversial CBS interview, by appearing alongside former New York Giants star Michael Strahan on Good Morning America.
The ABC morning show is gearing up to welcome the North Carolina head coach for what’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated interviews of the year. This comes in the wake of recent events that have thrust Belichick into the limelight due to his relationship with 24 year old ex-cheerleader Jordon Hudson.
Their significant 49-year age difference aside, the couple has been under fire lately after Hudson brushed off a question about their relationship during an interview where Belichick was promoting his new book. Since then, she’s been branded as “controlling,” while there are reports that UNC is growing “concerned” about the situation.
Despite the ongoing drama, it’s been confirmed that Belichick will join Strahan for an interview on Good Morning America, which will air on Friday, May 16, on ABC.
Given the backlash from his CBS interview, many are taken aback by Belichick’s choice to return to the spotlight so quickly, though it’s still uncertain what topics the interview will touch upon.
Belichick and Strahan are likely to talk about football during their conversation. However, fans are hoping that Strahan, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, will grill Belichick about his disastrous CBS interview and perhaps his relationship with Hudson.
It was disclosed that Belichick had laid down the law for his CBS interview, off-limits to questions about his personal life—a stipulation he might insist upon for his chat with Strahan.
Should guidelines on the discussion topics be lifted, audiences are set for a riveting segment. The previous encounter with Tony Dokoupil on CBS was disrupted by to Hudson’s notable interference, raising speculations about her potential involvement in the upcoming interview.
During that infamous sit-down, Hudson’s interjection of “We’re not talking about that” led her to abruptly exit the scene, pausing the interview for a hefty half hour. In the backdrop narration of his session with the renowned NFL coach, Dokoupil recounted Hudson’s relentless involvement.

Further adding to the drama, TMZ Sports covered various moments where Hudson piped up to rectify Belichick—regardless if the discourse was on football matters.
These interruptions triggered alarm, sparking debates over Hudson’s influence on Belichick, especially as she seemed to have taken on the mantle of his handler.
Following the CBS fiasco, Hudson delivered a behind-the-scenes revelation—a personal missive from the sports titan, expressing worries over media preoccupation with scandal potentially overshadowing his enduring NFL legacy, when they should be highlighting his forthcoming book, “The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football.”
However, with Strahan leading the interview with Belichick, it’s anticipated to cover a range of fascinating topics. It will be interesting to see how the experienced coach chooses to portray himself following recent events.
