With two games left in the season, the Niners fired coach Biff Poggi earlier this week. Who could emerge as a replacement?

The Charlotte 49ers have begun a national search for their fourth head coach after firing Biff Poggi Monday night. Why it matters: The program is investing $70 million into expanding its football stadium.

After Biff Poggi was dismissed on Monday, oddsmakers have already released the likely candidates to become the Charlotte 49ers’ next head coach.

Following a fourth 30-point loss this season — on the program’s homecoming Saturday — Charlotte cut ties with Poggi. The former Michigan assistant posted a 6-16 record with the 49ers. Here’s what we know.

After a 55-24 win over in-statement rival East Carolina Oct. 5, the 49ers have lost four in a row, with three of them coming by at least 30 points.

Interim coach Tim Brewster, a longtime assistant at various levels, became the Niners’ associate head coach before this season under Biff Poggi, who was fired Monday by athletic director Mike Hill — before the conclusion of his second year at the helm.

Charlotte football is searching for its new permanent leader. The athletic department’s top brass had a lengthy meeting following the team’s 35-point blowout loss to South Florida on Saturday night, and director of athletics Mike Hill ultimately made the difficult decision to fire coach Biff Poggi.
