Bill Belichick ‘wants to coach again’ and is ‘invested’ in NFL return despite ‘fresh start’ with cheerleader girlfriend
BILL Belichick is reportedly not done coaching yet.
The ex-New England Patriots boss is enjoying his second youth with cheerleader girlfriend Jordon Hudson, 24, by his side.
Belichick, 72, failed to secure a head-coaching job in the NFL after parting ways with the Patriots earlier this year.
He then signed a deal with ESPN to become the network's football analyst.
However, the six-time Super Bowl winner "wants to coach again" and is "fully invested" in returning to the sidelines, NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero revealed on The Rich Esen Show earlier this week.
"He's staying engaged in the game," Pelissero said.

"He's showing up to roasts. He's now going to be on Inside the NFL.
"We've seen him showing up to different events, in high school, and at the Manning Passing Academy.
"We saw him at the University of Washington, where his son Steve is now the defensive coordinator.'
"He'll be trying to remind you that he's not Darth Vader.

"That there's more to Bill Belichick. He's done a good job of that so far through his media stuff."
Pelissero added that a specific goal fuels Belichick's NFL comeback hopes.
"He wants to pursue the all-time wins record," the NFL Network insider said.
"Those are things that really matter a lot to Bill Belichick."
Belichick will make appearances on the ManningCast during Monday Night Football and The Pat McAfee Show as part of his ESPN deal.
He's recently been revealed as a new addition to the Inside the NFL cast by the CW network.
The downsides of having a massive age gap relationship
Dr. Jenn Mann, MFT, a licesesed therapist, reveals the key issues experienced by romantic partners with a huge age gap between them.
Dr. Mann claimed it might initially feel exciting when one partner is much younger than the other, like Bill Belichick, 72, and Jordon Hudson, 24, who share a whopping 48-year age difference.
"When people get older, they might just think it is refreshing that a young woman is looking at them adoringly and is attracted to them and is interested in him," Dr. Mann told The U.S. Sun.
"[But] there is a huge gap in life experience — in just years on this planet, in the way that helps us to evolve, develop, and mature."
"Even the most mature young person, when there is a 40-year age gap, the older people are incredibly immature.
"You're not meeting in the middle regarding development and life experience."
Dr. Mann said one common consideration for older male partners would be the younger female wanting a father figure.
"Usually, younger women are drawn to much older men because of unresolved issues with their fathers," Dr. Mann added.
"This could be a lack of attention, love, someone not being there, or even someone being in the household but not being present the way she might wish he was."
Dr. Mann noted that sexual and intimacy issues might begin to be at play, given the older partner may not have as much energy.
What's more, for older men, "it becomes more difficult typically to get and maintain an erection," she said.
"There are problems related to sexual performance, which can create other risks when it comes to taking medication for sexual performance."
Socially, Dr. Mann suggested that issues may arise between a couple when they mix with friends from different generations.
"In this case, if they're hanging with Bill's friends in their seventies or even sixties and fifties, a 24-year-old woman at that table will likely struggle to find common ground socially," she said.

Meanwhile, The US Sun understands Belichick is very happy since getting involved with Hudson.
"This is another shot at youthfulness," said his ex-Patriots colleague.
The insider said after "years of making the Pats his priority," Belichick is learning how to enjoy "simple things in life after realizing there's more to life than football.
