Charlotte has fired Will Healy. He was 15-24 in the middle of his 4th season.
And they hired an assistant from Michigan who has been coaching in college for 1 full year and this year I think. Yikes
He's been the AHC at Michigan for two seasons. Pretty well thought of in Ann Arbor. Harbaugh's right-hand man for many years, and apparently their #1 recruiter.
He spent a lot of time coaching in high school winning 13 state titles in 19 years.
He left in 2016 to spend one year at Michigan before returning to the high school ranks as head coach at St. Frances Academy, a program he personally funded. He coached current Michigan RB Blake Corum.
He's a little older, but certainly brings some level of experience. Also went to Duke, so maybe that's his North Carolina tie-in.
Nick Saban also put out a release congratulating him... not sure I saw how he knows Saban, but it's clear people think highly of his ability.
“Congratulations to Mike Hill and the Charlotte 49ers for a great hire. Biff Poggi will generate excitement and success for the program. The players will love playing for him and the coaches will love working with him. Get ready to win!” - Saban
