Spring Football Feature:
The Wives' Sisterhood

When he was hired, head coach Will Healy emphasized how important family values were to him, personally, and how that would be incorporated into the Charlotte football program. Healy has an open-door policy, meaning wives and children are welcome in and around the facility at any and all times.

Gresha Thurmond, the wife of special team's coordinator and linebackers coach Max Thurmond, finds the family-centered mindset crucial to the success of their 13-year-long marriage.
