North Carolina defensive coordinator resigns before Clemson game

North Carolina's defensive coordinator Steve Belichick has resigned ahead of the matchup against Clemson on Sunday. Belichick had been on medical leave since August 6 due to an internal investigation that found violations of the university's conduct standards. His departure follows the resignation of general manager Mike Lombardi. Brian Belichick is expected to take over defensive play-calling responsibilities for the game. Additionally, North Carolina will be without freshman wide receiver CJ Sadler, who had performed well in previous games but is unavailable due to legal issues. The Tar Heels face significant distractions as they prepare for the contest against the Tigers.
