Michigan football's Biff Poggi hired as new head coach of Charlotte 49ers

The success for the Michigan football team in 2021 cost the coaching staff its offensive and defensive coordinators.

And already this year, the Wolverines are losing another assistant coach.

The University of North Carolina Charlotte announced Tuesday that Biff Poggi, the current associated head coach at U-M, has been hired as the 49ers' third ever head coach.

"Biff has been a tremendous asset to our University of Michigan Football program, providing support and mentorship to our coaching staff and players," U-M coach Jim Harbaugh said in a released statement. "He has a great football mind, knows how to prepare a team during the week and on game day, and is a coach that aims to change the lives of his players in a positive way.
