It didn't take long for Bill Belichick to decide who he wanted to help him lead at the University of North Carolina.
Vegas Sports Information Network (VSiN) announced that host Michael Lombardi is leaving to join Belichick at UNC and will serve as the football program's general manager.
“I’m excited to join Coach Belichick at North Carolina,” Lombardi said in a statement released by VSiN. “Although leaving my VSIN family will be hard, I’m excited to return to helping build a winning program.
