Lombardi Out as Tar Heels Move Forward | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

Michael Lombardi, North Carolina’s highest-paid GM at $1.5M/year, is stepping down after an internal probe triggered by a former staffer’s HR complaint — he was on paid leave during the investigation. His lawyer hinted the process was thorough and questioned university motives, noting his salary isn’t outlandish today. Lombardi chose resignation over being fired or bought out. With the Tar Heels’ 2025 season opener a promising 15-10 win over TCU, the program is now turning focus to momentum as they face East Tennessee State on Saturday, September 12th.
