North Carolina places football GM Michael Lombardi on paid administrative leave
The school announced the move with a statement Monday morning, coming days before the Tar Heels open preseason camp.
Lombardi joined Bill Belichick in making the NFL-to-college move when the school hired the former New England Patriots coach in December 2024.
Lombardi's career as an NFL executive had included being the GM of the Cleveland Browns in 2013, and he was an immediate hire by the six-time Super Bowl-winning coach in Chapel Hill.
