NFL Films has distanced themselves from Jordon Hudson after she was caught on a hot mic while using their New Jersey studios last year.
In footage released by the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast on Friday, October 17, Hudson, 24, was seen and heard complaining about the graphics created for Coach, a football analysis show cohosted by her boyfriend, Bill Belichick.
The show was filmed at NFL Films Studios, located in Mount Laurel, New Jersey.
“NFL Films did not produce Coach with Bill Belichick,” NFL Films said in a statement provided to ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show. “NFL Films did not edit the show. NFL Films did not shoot the show. NFL Films did not — and does not — own the show.”
The statement continued, “As a matter of convenience to him, NFL Films allowed Coach Belichick and the production team from Underdog to use our studio for his Coach show because he was already here in his capacity as talent on Inside the NFL.”
Belichick, 73, appeared as an analyst on The CW’s Inside the NFL in between his coaching tenures with the New England Patriots and the University of North Carolina, where he was officially announced as the new head coach in December 2024.
“NFL Films has a longstanding relationship with Bill Belichick based on trust and mutual respect built over many years of working together,” the statement added.
As for how podcast host Torre, 40, obtained the footage of Hudson, NFL Films denied any connection.
“We have absolutely no reason to believe that this footage leak came from NFL Films or from any employee of NFL Films,” the statement concluded.
In the footage, which was filmed in September 2024, Hudson has a lengthy conversation with the Coach production team, including Belichick, about her disapproval of the graphics created for the show.
“The background on here … I thought this was going to end up looking like [it was] scribbled into a playbook rather than a typed font and whatnot,” Hudson said. “I thought that was what was taking them the time that it was. This feels like a ‘How many people does it take to screw in a lightbulb?’ situation.”
She added, “It’s a lot of salary to pay for this.”
Hudson, whose role in Belichick’s professional life has been ripe for speculation since they went public with their relationship last year, even volunteered her services to help expedite the process.
“If somebody puts on a clock, I could create this in five minutes,” Hudson said, pointing to one of the graphics. “Will you give me two grand to do that?”

Hudson also offered, “We could use Adobe Photoshop. Honestly, I’ve done it before … It takes literally three minutes to do it. I was able to build out [Belichick’s] entire website with animations, with all of these things.”
Belichick and Hudson eventually broke off for a one-on-one conversation, where they continued to talk trash in a more private setting.
“I don’t know how they have four full-time graphics people,” Hudson said, to which Belichick responded, “They can’t do s***.”
