Charlotte 49ers Director of Athletics Mike Hill has announced that Brad Lambert will not be retained as head football coach.
"We've decided to make a change in our football program," said Hill. "It is a decision I made after an opportunity to assess my first football season here. It's about the trajectory of the program and putting us in the best position for the future. We elected to make this decision now so that we could begin the search immediately."
Lambert, the only coach the program has known, put together a 21-48 record in the program's first six years, which included the inaugural two years as an FCS Independent and four years at the FBS level as a member of Conference USA.
