Francis Xavier "Biff" Poggi (/ˈpoʊdʒiː/; born June 6, 1959) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently an associate head coach at the University of Michigan, rejoining the program in 2025 at the same role he held from 2021 to 2022.[1] From 2023 to 2024, he was the head football coach at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.[2][3] Before coaching college football, Poggi coached over twenty years of high school football at Gilman School (1996–2015) and Saint Frances Academy (2017–2020) in Baltimore, Maryland.[4]

College coaching career

[edit]

Poggi got his first win as an NCAA head coach against South Carolina State in his first game in 2023.[5][6] Poggi recorded his first FBS and conference win on October 21, a 10 to 7 road win over in-state rival ECU. [7] Charlotte fired Poggi with two games remaining in the 2024 season.[8] Tim Brewster succeeded him as interim head coach.[9] In 2025, Poggi returned to Michigan as an associate coach, a position he held at the university from 2021 to 2022 under head coach Jim Harbaugh. He was first hired by the Wolverines as an analyst in 2016, serving for one season under Harbaugh before he returned to coach high school football for four seasons.[10]
