Steve Belichick resigns as defensive coordinator at the University of North Carolina, according to multiple reports. CBS Sports and Yahoo Sports say he has been on medical leave since early August, and his resignation follows that period.
Several outlets also link the resignation to an ongoing university review. Yahoo Sports reports that UNC is investigating allegations that Belichick used drugs on the job, citing an earlier report. The New York Post adds that UNC says it concluded a probe into the program’s culture and that Belichick’s resignation takes effect after his medical leave ends, with an effective date of Oct. 27 mentioned by that outlet. Yahoo also notes the resignation comes after a separate high-profile personnel change earlier in the season involving UNC’s general manager, Michael Lombardi.
Across the coverage, the main points are consistent: Belichick resigns from the UNC defensive coordinator role, his medical leave is a key part of the timeline, and the decision occurs amid a university investigation.
