Overview

  • In a Boston Globe interview published Aug. 21, Bill Belichick said college football appeals to him because “there’s no owner, there’s no owner’s son,” a line widely read as a shot at Robert and Jonathan Kraft.
  • On 98.5 The Sports Hub, Mike Felger and Tony Massarotti unloaded on Belichick with harsh language and skepticism about his North Carolina prospects, with Felger calling him a “horny, old” and “delusional” coach.
  • Former Patriots linebacker Ted Johnson told WEEI that Belichick is “still bitter,” criticizing the ex-coach for continuing to take public shots at his former team.
  • The exchange follows months of barbs, including Robert Kraft calling hiring Belichick a “big risk” on a July podcast and Belichick countering that he took the real risk by choosing New England over the Jets.
  • As UNC’s Sept. 1 opener approaches, media chatter has also invoked Belichick’s relationship with 24-year-old Jordon Hudson in questioning his judgment and influence around the Tar Heels program.
