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

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]

• Charlotte put up over 500 yards (526) of total offense for the second time in the season.
• Chris Reynolds would set both a new school FBS single-game passing yardage (296 yards) and touchdown (4) record in this game.
• First time Charlotte has scored 6 touchdowns against an FBS opponent on the road.
• First time Charlotte has scored 4 passing touchdowns against an FBS opponent.
• Charlotte is the first opponent to score more than 19 points in a game against App. St. in Boone since 2017.
• Charlotte's 41 points are the most points scored against App. St. in Boone since Miami beat them at home 45-10 in 2016.

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.

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:

The Miners, looking for their first FBS and conference win of the season, would strike quickly by going up two touchdowns in the first quarter and taking a two score lead into the half. The 49ers would reverse the action in the second half, holding the Miners scoreless while coming from behind to take their first road victory of the year.

Chris Reynolds would have another outstanding performance, setting a new FBS school single game record with 354 passing yards which resulted in 2 touchdowns and an interception. With Benny LeMay still injured Reynolds would also add 18 carries for 91 yards on the ground to be the 49ers' top rusher.

In a heavy rain the Thundering Herd, looking to secure home field for the C-USA Championship, would take an early lead; but the 49ers' defense would keep Marshall's offense from reaching the end zone for the entire game. Behind Quarterback Chris Reynolds the 49ers would stage a second half comeback victory to secure the program's first winning season and first bowl game qualification.

The 49ers' Chris Reynolds would dominate the passing and rushing stats in the game, getting a touchdown by both methods. He passed for 166 yards, a touchdown, and 2 interceptions.

High winds encouraged both teams to keep things on the ground early but it was the Bulls that were able to score first and most often behind their powerful dual threat running game. The 49ers would have two costly drive stalling first half penalties and two costly turnovers at key moments of the game. The 49ers would finally score in the second half, but the game was out of reach as the Bulls took home their first bowl trophy in their fourth bowl appearance.
