Share your love
UNC football general manager Mike Lombardi has been placed on paid administrative leave, according to a statement released by the school Monday morning.
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has placed Michael Lombardi, general manager for the Carolina football program, on paid administrative leave, effective immediately.
As is standard procedure with personnel matters, leadership, staff, and student-athletes are prohibited from addressing this topic further, and has no reflection on the merits.
Lombardi, whose $1.5 million salary makes him the highest-paid general manager in college football, joined the UNC staff prior to the 2025 season as a member of Bill Belichick’s coterie of advisors and yes men. Lombardi helped Belichick put together one of the more uninspiring rosters in college football, as the Tar Heels finished 4-8 and didn’t beat a single team that finished with five or more wins.
