As Michigan's stock rose from 2021 to ’22, so too rose the stock of associate head coach Biff Poggi.
Hired away from Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore before the '21 season, Poggi became widely recognized as a critical contributor to the Wolverines' back-to-back Big Ten championships. In Nov. 2022, The Athletic went so far as to call Poggi “[coach] Jim Harbaugh’s consigliere” and “the most interesting man in coaching.”
Charlotte recognized this, and poached Poggi from Michigan in Nov. '22 to replace fired coach Will Healy. On Saturday, Poggi began his 49ers career in style with a snazzy, sleeveless wardrobe choice for Charlotte's game against South Carolina State.
