Appalachian State head football coach Eliah Drinkwitz has announced the last hire of his inaugural 2019 coaching staff.
Drinkwitz tweeted on Saturday that Charlie Harbison would join the Mountaineers as a defensive assistant. Harbison is the tenth and final hire for this season.
Harbison played college football at Gardner–Webb (University) for four seasons. In 1982, he signed as a free agent with the National Football League’s Buffalo Bills. He later played two seasons with the Boston/New Orleans Breakers of the United States Football League (USFL).
Harbison began a long coaching career in 1984 that has included tenures as an assistant at one small-level university, seven major universities, two high schools, one minor league system team, one arena league team and most recently with the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals.
