The offseason version of "Hard Knocks" should cover Bill Belichick as he began serving as UNC's lead coach. We now know why the project crashed.

According to Katherine Rosman of The New York Times, Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, demanded content recognition and partial ownership of the show before the NFL movie and HBO announced the documentary.

According to reports, NFL movies reportedly did not have control over the 24-year-old Hudson's long-running show during the offseason, and he has no shortage of headlines around Belichick.

The manufacturer reportedly learned that Hudson had made a similar series after negotiations with another production company, Everwonder. According to its website, Everwonder is involved in many sports, most notably the production of Netflix's Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Fight.

It has been previously reported that Hudson played a major role in killing Tal's heels "Hard Knocks", and one of the show's executive producers hint that she asked for a lot of involvement in the series:

"It's our turn to be unhappy."

Even the NFL's head coach or general manager was not awarded the final cut of the "hard hit" season, as the show ended up under the control of the league itself. Belichick's addition would have been the new foundation for the series, but Hudson obviously wanted to control the progress he made into college football, which would be a very loud message.

Over the past few months, the desire for control has become an inevitable narrative, most notably when Hudson stepped into a CBS interview question about how she and Belichick met. Questions about her participation in the UNC program have become loud enough that Tar Heels feel the need to issue a statement confirming that she is not a school employee but welcomes her facilities.

Given the New York Times report Hudson told at least one person that she and Belichick were engaged, she might have been for a long time.

Another area in which Hudson was involved in Belichick's career was the many trademark applications made under his name. Literally.

Since the coach's well-known slogans (such as "No Days' Leave" and "Your Job") are held by his New England Patriots, Hudson reportedly tried to attract Taylor Swift and applied for a trademark to read "No Days Huth Huth (Bill's Version)" and "Do Your Job Version" (Bill's Version).

We'll see how this works.
