Steve Belichick to Resign as UNC Defensive Coordinator After Internal InvestigationPreviousNext

Steve Belichick, defensive coordinator at the University of North Carolina, will resign effective October 27 following an internal investigation into the football program's culture and climate. The university found certain actions that violated its values but described them as isolated incidents, not systemic issues. Steve Belichick has been on medical leave since August 6. The investigation's details were not fully disclosed, and corrective measures are underway. Former general manager Michael Lombardi also resigned amid the probe.
