Chapel Hill, N.C. ----- Chuck Pagano has resigned as North Carolina's defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach to become an assistant coach with the NFL's Baltimore Ravens. Pagano coached six years in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns (2001-04) and Oakland Raiders (2005-06) before joining the Tar Heels in 2007.
"I appreciate everything Chuck did to help us improve our defense last season," said head coach Butch Davis. "He has a great opportunity to return to the NFL and I wish him the best.
"We are in the process of evaluating potential defensive coaching candidates. There is no timetable for the hire as we search to find the best person for the University of North Carolina. Finding someone who is the right fit with our staff and players is my top priority."
