The Bill Belichick Hall of Fame snub was one of the biggest surprises in the NFL season, as the legendary head coach will now have to wait at least one more season to earn the sport’s highest honor. In the meantime, he’ll be having a part on the same day as the ceremony.

According to a new report from People, Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson , will be throwing him a “huge bash” the same day as the ceremony. That’s going to be on August 8th, just weeks ahead of the start of his second season coaching the North Carolina Tar Heels .

Hudson is expected to extend invites to some major names in NFL history. That includes Tom Brady , Jimmy Johnson , Bill Parcells , and other outspoken supporters of Belichick. Previously, that same group of people would have been attending the ceremony in Canton. After all, as an anonymous source told People, “The purpose of the bash is to celebrate alongside all of his people.”

Belichick needed 40 out of 50 votes to make it into the Hall of Fame. He’d come up just one short on his first season eligibility. It had been reported that there had been some politics that helped to keep Belichick out of the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. That includes that Indianapolis Colts general manager Bill Polian worked to influence the vote against Belichick, his old rival.

For his part, Polian has denied that. Don Van Natta Jr. contributed to the original report, and then would later share Polian’s sentiment. However, he also said he couldn’t remember whether or not he voted for Belichick himself.
