Lane Kiffin squashed reports this week, but here is what we’re hearing around that Auburn opening and potential changes at Nebraska, Wisconsin and Colorado
Charlotte became the first of the nine in-season coaching openings to close during the 2022 coaching cycle. Its choice: Michigan associate head coach Biff Poggi., and was vital when Harbaugh hired a mostly new staff heading into the 2021 season. You may remember Poggi as a sartorial innovator sporting cutoff sleeves at his last stop as a head coach at Saint Frances Academy in Maryland.
Harbaugh vouched for Poggi, as did former Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison, who Hill worked with at Florida in the mid-2000s. But the most intriguing call came from a famously protected number who Poggi had never directly worked for: Nick Saban. Given Charlotte’s continued budget issues at the FBS level, fundraising was the chief mandate. Healy beat doors down across town to make sure people knew the program existed and appeal to people with deep pockets within a city that has an affable style. Poggi will continue that work but in a different way, as his background includes a successful spell running a hedge fund.
he will donate around $500,000 of his own money to the football program to help with staff pools and bridge the fundraising gap. If Charlotte was previously lagging behind Conference USA programs from a budgetary standpoint, that gap is only going to widen when they move to the AAC.
