It appears the Austin Peay Governors are in need of a new football coach. According to Yahoo Sports, Austin Peay coach Will Healy is set to be hired as the new head coach at Charlotte. The report goes on to note that, according to a source with direct knowledge of the hire, Healy will agree to a five-year contract, pending board approval.
At Austin Peay, Healy brought in the country’s No. 1 ranked FCS recruiting class despite an 0-11 debut season in 2016. Healy rebounded the next year to go 8-4, a season that saw Austin Peay snap a 29-game losing streak and finish 7-1 in the Ohio Valley Conference.
Charlotte fired coach Brad Lambert, who finished 22-48, in mid-November.
