With all the rumors swirling, Belichick's girlfriend, 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, took to Instagram to clear things up. Hudson captioned a picture of the couple against a UNC blue background "Pictured: two people who are overtly committed to @uncfootball ," which many took as a sign that there was no chance of Belichick jumping ship.

After adding multiple former NFL assistants and personnel, Belichick has reportedly elected to stay in college football with his pick for linebackers coach. According to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, longtime assistant Bob Diaco is expected to serve in the role.
