Amid NCAA Probe, John Blake Steps Down At UNC

Posted Sep 5, 2010
John Blake has resigned his position on UNC’s football staff, effective immediately, school officials said Sunday night. Blake said in a statement issued by the school that he stepped down because “my presence has become a distraction” to the university. “Consequently, I have determined that it is in the best interests of my family, the university community at large, and the football program for me to step down from my position as associate head football coach,” Blake said.
