The Charlotte 49ers have had a rough go on the gridiron since they launched an FBS program in the Conference USA in 2013. Their all-time record is 22-48, including a 5-7 mark in Brad Lambert’s final season in 2018.
Now the 49ers are under new leadership from head coach Will Healy who takes over the program after a successful revitalization stint at Austin Peay in the FCS. He took a program from a 29-game losing streak to an 8-2 finish last year that nearly put his team in the FCS Playoffs.
The team is a work in progress to say the least, but Healy is eager to establish a program that has yet to show much of anything since joining the FBS.
