Lombardi Resigns Amid NC Football Probe | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

North Carolina’s top football GM, Michael Lombardi, has resigned amid a swirling controversy — just one month after being placed on paid leave over a personnel complaint. Making $1.5 million annually, he was the highest-paid GM in college football, and while the school vows to continue its investigation, Lombardi cited the team’s focus on the upcoming season as his reason for stepping down — while also praising Coach Belichick and the chancellor. His three-year contract, set to run through 2027, came under scrutiny even before the season started due to a trip to Saudi Arabia — allegedly to honor a fan’s support for Belichick. Meanwhile, the Tar Heels pulled off a big win over TCU in Ireland, drawing nearly 5 million viewers, and are poised for a strong future with Belichick in his second year of a $50 million deal and a loaded recruiting class. Their home opener against East Tennessee State is just around the corner on September 12. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
