Biff Poggi’s stint in Charlotte has come to an end after a 6-16 mark over 22 games. Poggi’s hire was one that made headlines and later raised eyebrows after the
former Baltimore area high school coach and Michigan assistant coach came with a boisterous style.
However, Poggi was never able to find on-field success, despite his attempts to reshape the roster through back-to-back heavy portal overhauls. Now, Charlotte Athletic Director Mike Hill is essentially starting over after dismissing Will Healy halfway through the 2022 season.Longtime NFL and college assistant Pep Hamilton was in the running for the job when Poggi was ultimately hired. The 50-year-old Hamilton is a Charlotte native who has had success with several different organizations and would be an instant fit in his hometown.Fayetteville, N.C. native Aaron Curry would be a bit of a splash hire, given the former NFL No.
However, former Florida State offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Alex Atkins was considered one of the fastest risers as an assistant coach, before the Seminoles complete collapse this season. Atkins’ name was part of recent coaching searches at South Florida and was in the running for the Charlotte job before Poggi was hired. Atkins spent the 2019 season at Charlotte as OC and offensive line coach, helping the Niners to their only bowl berth in program history.
