Feldman blasts UNC’s Lombardi as program goes on paid leave amid probe
North Carolina placed general manager Michael Lombardi on paid administrative leave amid an ongoing investigation prompted by a complaint from a former front office employee, with the university offering no details on merits. ESPN’s Pete Thamel linked the move to the probe, while Bruce Feldman publicly castigated Lombardi on The Audible, calling him “the worst general manager in college sports” and criticizing Bill Belichick’s role in hiring him. UNC declined to comment further or provide a timeline, and the situation adds to a long run of critical coverage of Lombardi’s tenure.
