Steve Belichick, 39, resigned Thursday as North Carolina's defensive coordinator after being away from the team on medical leave since Aug. 6.
UNC has still opened 2-0, including a 15-10 upset of TCU, with Bill Belichick expected to handle defensive play-calling duties during his son's absence.
13 points allowed over two games has underscored the Tar Heels' early improvement after Bill Belichick's first UNC season ended 4-8.
The exit is the second major football-program resignation this month after general manager Michael Lombardi stepped down Sept. 3, adding to scrutiny around UNC as it heads to Clemson on Saturday.
