Where there's a Will there's a way?

Charlotte didn’t have a Division I football program until 2013. In 2015, Charlotte joined the FBS ranks in Conference USA. The 49ers’ first four seasons as an FBS program were rough: 5-7, 1-11, 4-8, 2-10.

After the 2018 season, Charlotte hired Healy, the peach-fuzzed reigning FCS national coach of the year who just pulled off a miracle at FCS doormat Austin Peay.
