Charlotte 49ers head football coach Will Healy has announced the promotion of quarterbacks coach Mark Carney to Offensive Coordinator. Carney will also retain his role as quarterbacks coach. “Mark was such a critical part of our success last season,” Healy said. “He is incredibly deserving of this opportunity, which we believe gives us the best chance to provide continuity and take additional steps on offense. I greatly value Mark’s friendship and who he is as a person and a coach. This is someone I have trusted and thought highly of since I played for him in college, and it’s been a joy to have Mark and his family on this journey with us.” Carney, who has 16 years of collegiate coaching experience, including five as an offensive coordinator, was the quarterback’s coach during Healy’s playing career at Richmond. He served as offensive coordinator at both Baldwin-Wallace and Virginia State before being named quarterbacks coach for the 49ers. “Coach Healy and I have a long history together, and I know what a fantastic coach and person he is,” Carney said. “I’m humbled and grateful that he is entrusting me with this position and I can’t wait to continue what we began a year ago. I know our personnel and what we are capable of and I’m excited to get to work with these guys in 2020.”
