The 2019 Charlotte 49ers football team represented the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the 2019 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The 49ers played their home games at Jerry Richardson Stadium in Charlotte, NC, and competed in the East Division of Conference USA (C–USA). They were led by first-year head coach Will Healy.[1]

## Coaching staff[edit]

Following the loss of the final home game of the 2018 season to FIU and elimination from bowl game contention, first-year athletic director Mike Hill released head coach Brad Lambert from his contract. Lambert finished the season and his Charlotte 49ers career with a road victory against FAU the following Saturday.[2] On December 5, 2018 Austin Peay third-year head coach Will Healy was introduced as the Charlotte 49ers second head football coach.[1]

On December 21 Austin Peay's defensive coordinator Brandon Cooper was named co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach.[3] Also coming over on the same date from Austin Peay was Max Thurmond who would take over the same positions of special teams coordinator and linebackers coach.[3] Virginia State offensive coordinator Mark Carrey was named quarterbacks coach.[3] Southern Miss cornerbacks coach Eddie Hicks would take the same position on Healy's new staff.[3] Carter Crutchfield would also follow Healy from Austin Peay to continue as his recruiting coordinator and director of operations.[3] Rounding out the first round of staff hires would be Chris Laskowski, who maintained the same position he had under Healy at Austin Peay of strength and conditioning coach.[3]

On December 23 Tulane assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Alex Atkins was named offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.[3] On January 8, 2019 Minnesota Defensive line coach Marcus West was reported as taking the same position with the 49ers and also joining Cooper as co-defensive coordinators. In addition Healy named West, who had previously been on Healy's staff at Austin Peay, to assistant head coach.[4] On the same date Troy running backs coach Sean Dawkins was named running backs coach and run game coordinator.[5]

On January 28, Western Kentucky running backs coach Montario Hardesty joined the staff to coach wide receivers.[6] On February 21 Clemson graduate assistant Zachary Alley joined the staff to coach nickelbacks.[7] On March 1 Oregon graduate assistant Cody Woodiel was hired to coach tight ends, completing Healy's first coaching staff at Charlotte.[8]

Alley would depart from the staff shortly after his hire to join the Boise State staff as inside linebackers coach.[9]

On June 24 Asheville's Christ School's head football coach Tommy Langford accepted the nicklebacks assistant coaching position.[10]

In this first ever meeting of conference foes the Mean Green took an early lead and held it throughout the game; but an offensive flurry for the 49ers in the fourth quarter, combined with the defense shutting down North Texas's high power offense in the same time period, resulted in the Niners gaining their first conference victory of the year.

Top performers of the game included North Texas's Mason Fine, who threw for 394 yards and 5 touchdowns. Charlotte's Benny LeMay rushed for 155 yards on 30 carries for 2 touchdowns. The Mean Green's Jyaire Shorter had 3 receptions for 111 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Game notes:

* First game between these conference foes from opposite divisions.
* Will Healy's first C-USA victory.
* Charlotte set a new program record for total offense against an FBS opponent with 589 yards.
* Chris Reynolds's 432 total yards of offense (336 passing, 96 rushing) broke the single game record for total yardage previously set by Matt Johnson (415 vs Gardner-Webb in 2013).

Middle Tennessee would get the first points, but Charlotte's defense wouldn't let them score again until the fourth quarter. By then it was too late, as the 49ers had a steady stream of scores in the first quarter and stretched the lead out enough to make the late Blue Raiders' rally fall far short.

Charlotte dominated the top performances with Chris Reynolds throwing for 192 yards and a touchdown while also adding a rushing touchdown behind 103 yards on the ground. Charlotte's Aaron McAllister would step in for the injured Benny LeMay with 24 carriers for 104 yards and 2 touchdowns. Charlotte's Cameron Dollar had 3 receptions for 80 yards.

Game notes:

* Charlotte's first win in five tries against this C-USA East Division foe in the series. Charlotte has now defeated all C-USA East Division teams at least once save for Florida International.
* First time Charlotte has won back-to-back FBS and conference home games.
* Senior linebacker Jeff Gemmell would record 7 tackles in the game, making him the 49ers' all-time leading tackler with 269 tackles so far on his career, beating out the previous record of 267 tackles held by Karrington King.[93]
