The anticipation of Bill Belichick’s arrival in North Carolina resulted in a Hulu docuseries following the legendary NFL coach as he navigated the college football world for the first time. But after a rough September, the spotlight on Belichick has reportedly been dimmed.

"It’s going to feature the players working hard, which you guys do. It’s about the players improving and getting better through their hard work, which you do.

Hulu and UNC did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
ESPN reported that this was the second time a documentary following Belichick and the program had been scrapped. According to the report, an earlier project with HBO had been nixed because of alleged concern over Jordon Hudson’s, Belichick’s girlfriend, intended role in the project.
