CHARLOTTE They lovingly call it the frat house, even though the property is actually quite nice and actually for adults. No beer pong tables, no ratty furniture. A normal house on a normal block.

The two-story rental on Commonwealth Avenue is no longer home to first-year Charlotte football head coach Will Healy and his staff. But thats what it was in the first months after they all arrived and started this gig. The baby-faced 34-year-old was introduced by the 49ers on Dec. 5, 2018, after a rather miraculous turnaround at Austin Peay in which he took the Governors from 0-11 in Year 1 to 8-4 in Year 2 and just missed out on the FCS playoffs.

When Healy got his first FBS coaching opportunity almost exactly a year ago, he knew what he had to do: Get the gang back together. He called the assistants hed had at Austin Peay who had parlayed their success there to bigger jobs. Marcus West had left for a defensive line coaching gig at Minnesota, a Power 5 job.
