The legendary football coach has never shared much with the news media, but on Sunday it was Jordon Hudson who shut down a line of questioning.

When Bill Belichick, one of the country’s most famous football coaches, appeared on “CBS Sunday Morning” over the weekend to promote his new book, “The Art of Winning: Lessons From My Life in Football,” he touched on a number of topics, including his apparent disdain for inspirational halftime speeches.
Football, Mr. Belichick said in his interview with Tony Dokoupil of CBS, is really about strategy: What is his opponent doing? How does his team need to adjust?
“Identifying a problem,” he went on, “figuring a solution and then executing that plan to make it work.”
Jordon Hudson, Mr. Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend, tried to do exactly that at one point in the interview, when Mr. Dokoupil asked Mr. Belichick, 73, how they had met.
“We’re not talking about this,” Ms. Hudson interjected off camera from the producer’s table.
“No?” Mr. Dokoupil asked her.
“No,” Ms. Hudson said.
Representatives for Mr. Belichick and his school, the University of North Carolina, did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the interview, but his relationship with Ms. Hudson — and, of course, their nearly 49-year age difference — has been a source of intrigue since the couple went public last year.
