Steve Belichick, who serves as the defensive coordinator at the University of North Carolinaand who is the son of head coach Bill Belichickhas stepped down from his position as the university concludes its investigation into the football program.

ノースカロライナ大学の守備コーディネーターを務めるスティーブ・ベリチック氏——ヘッドコーチであるビル・ベリチック氏の息子——は、同校がフットボールプログラムに関する調査を終結させる中でその任を辞するに至った

On Thursday morning, the university issued a statement announcing that Steve Belichick's resignation would take effect in late October, at which point the medical leave of absence he had disclosed during the early stages of preseason camp would come to an end.

学校は木曜日の朝スティーブ・ベリチック氏の辞任が10月下旬に発効しその時点をもってプレシーズンキャンプの初期段階で公表された病気休暇が終了するとの声明を発表した

This makes him the second prominent figure under investigation to step down, the other being General Manager Michael Lombardi, who resigned earlier this month.

これにより同氏は調査対象となっている2人目の著名な辞任者となり、もう1人は今月初旬に辞任したゼネラルマネージャーのマイケル・ロンバルディ氏である

UNC's statement was issued after the university's investigation determined that "certain behaviors suggest a disregard for Carolina's values and standards of conduct."

UNCの声明は学校側の調査が特定の行動がカロライナの価値観および行動基準軽視していることを示唆していると認定したことを受けて発せられたものである

The university did not disclose the specific details of those behaviors observed in the investigation, nor did it make any mention of the substance of the inquiry, which was initiated in late July.

学校側は当該調査において看取されたそれら行動の具体的詳細を明らかにせずまた7月下旬に着手された調査の内容についても一切言及しなかった。

"The investigation also found that these actions were isolated in scope and did not constitute a systemic failure," the school stated.

「調査はまた、これらの行動が範囲において孤立しており、体系的な失敗ではないことを発見した」と学校は述べた。

In an interview with reporters conducted on Thursday, Nate Huff, the lead investigator and attorney, along with Paul Newton, UNC's general counsel, refrained from commenting to The Assembly and Raleigh's WRAL on specific findings or the conduct of particular individuals.

木曜日に行われた記者団とのインタビューにおいてThe AssemblyおよびローリーのWRALに対し主任調査官兼弁護士であるネイト・ハフ氏UNCの総法律顧問ポール・ニュートン氏は、具体的な調査結果特定の個人による行為について言及することを差し控えた

However, Huff confirmed that in the course of conducting roughly 60 interviews, his team had investigated allegations pertaining to potential drug use, inappropriate relationships, and NCAA rule violations within the program.

しかしながらハフ氏は自身のチームが約60回にわたるインタビューを実施する過程で、プログラム内における潜在的な薬物使用不適切な関係、およびNCAA規則違反に関連する疑惑について調査を行ったことを確認した

Mr. Huff stated, "Not once did I ever feel that the university's legal counsel's office, the university's leadership, or the athletics department's leadership was constraining or steering me."

ハフ氏は、「大学の法律顧問室大学のリーダーシップあるいはアスレチックス部門のリーダーシップが、私を制約したり誘導したりしている感じたことは一度たりともなかった」と述べた

"On the contrary, I felt they were the very people I could rely on to secure the access indispensable for getting to the bottom of all this. And that was precisely my experience."

むしろこのすべての真相を究明するために必要不可欠なアクセスを獲得する上で頼るべき人々であると感じたそしてまさにそれが私の経験であった。」

Consequently, my team and I were able to devote ourselves to Carolina football, as well as to its compliance and culture, and to these numerous allegations.

故に私と私のチームはカロライナフットボールならびにそのコンプライアンスと文化、そしてこれらの疑惑の数々専心することが叶ったのである

The interviewees also included Bill Belichick, who had achieved six Super Bowl victories with the New England Patriots before making his transition from the NFL to college football in December 2024.

インタビュー対象者には2024年12月にNFLから大学への転身を果たす以前にニューイングランド・ペイトリオッツにおいて6度のスーパーボウル制覇を成し遂げたビル・ベリチック氏も含まれていた

The study was conducted throughout the entire preseason camp and continued even after the Tar Heels defeated TCU and East Tennessee State to open the second season under Belichick's leadership.

本調査はプレシーズンキャンプの全期間にわたって実施されその後ターヒールズがベリチック氏の指揮する2年目のシーズンを幕開けすべくTCUおよびイーストテネシー州立大学を打ち破った後もなお継続された

"He made available to me his entire staff and himself throughout the football season," Hough remarked.

彼はフットボールシーズンの間スタッフ全員と彼自身の身を私のために提供してくれたとハフ氏は述べた

"And the only two questions these coaches I spoke with, these people I exchanged words with in that building, ever put to me were: 'When do you need it?' and 'Where shall I wait?'"

そして私が話をしたこれらのコーチたちあの建物で言葉を交わした人々が私に問いかけたのは、『いつお入り用ですか?』と『どこに控えていればよろしいでしょうか?』という二点のみであった

And so it came to pass that I undertook a thorough investigation of football in the very midst of the football season, and was even granted access to figures such as Coach Bill Belichick.

かくして私はフットボールシーズンの最中にフットボールを徹底的に調査する運びとなり、ビル・ベリチックコーチのような人物にまでアクセスすることが叶ったのである

At the first press conference Bill Belichick faced following Mr. Lombardi's resignation on September 3, the questions he encountered were largely unrelated to football.

ロンバルディ氏の9月3日の辞任を受け、ビル・ベリチック氏が臨んだ最初の記者会見において彼が直面した質問は主としてフットボールとは無縁のものであった

Belichick stated that he was confident his program complied "completely" with the rules, and remarked, "Obviously, everyone, myself included, bears the responsibility to conduct themselves appropriately, and we intend to do so."

ベリチック氏は自身のプログラムが「完全に」規則に準拠しているという自負があると述べ「明らかに私を含め全員が適切に行動する責任を負っており、我々はそうする所存だ」と語った。

On the same day, Dean Stoyer, UNC's vice chancellor for communications, who issued a statement on Thursday, said that the school "will continue to support Bill Belichick and the Carolina football program."

同日木曜日の声明を発表したUNCの広報担当副学長ディーン・ストイヤー氏は、学校がビル・ベリチック氏カロライナフットボールプログラム引き続き支援する」と述べた

The school published the findings in late July, several days after placing Mr. Lombardi on paid administrative leave.

学校はロンバルディ氏を有給の管理休暇に付した数日後の7月下旬に調査結果を公表した

On the day Mr. Lombardi resigned, WRAL of Raleigh, citing accounts from anonymous sources, reported on the kinds of questions that had been posed to some of those interviewed, several of which focused on Steve Belichick.

ロンバルディ氏が辞任した当日ローリーのWRALは匿名の情報筋の証言を引用しつつ一部のインタビュー対象者に対してどのような種類の質問がなされたのかを報じそのうちの幾つかはスティーブ・ベリチック氏に焦点を当てたものであった

Furthermore, Tom Mars, Lombardi's attorney, told The Athletic that the school's investigation currently encompassed questions concerning potential "inappropriate" relationships unrelated to his client.

さらにロンバルディ氏の弁護士であるトム・マーズ氏はThe Athletic紙に対し学校側の調査が現時点で自身の依頼人とは無関係の潜在的な「不適切な」関係に関する質問を包含していると述べた

At the time, Mars did not respond to phone calls or emails from reporters regarding that comment.

当時マーズ氏はそのコメントに関して記者からの電話やメールに応じることはなかった

On Thursday, citing university policy regarding personnel matters, the school declined to comment on the individual under investigation.

木曜日学校側は人事問題に関する大学の方針を根拠として調査対象となっている個人について言及することを拒否した

UNC stated that "all necessary corrective measures are currently underway" and declared that it regards the investigation in question as "resolved."

UNCは「必要な是正措置はすべて現在進行中」であると述べ当該調査は「解決済み」と見做していると表明した。
