on Tuesday afternoon, and many are wondering what the 49ers are going to get in this mostly unknown head coach. Poggi used to be the head coach at the Gilman School in Baltimore, where he played in high school. From there he went on to become an off-field assistant role atbefore returning to the high school ranks as head coach at St. Frances Academy in downtown Baltimore. Poggi helped build that program into the national powerhouse that we know today.
As a college head coach, though, Poggi is largely an unknown. Lately, he's had an up-close look at the University of Michigan program and helped build it into a College Football Playoff contender, drawing on his extensive organizational experience honed during a very successful career in the business world as a hedge fund manager.
In the past, he was an important behind-the-scenes figure in the recruiting world, especially in the Mid-Atlantic. Poggi has been a sounding board for college coaches looking for their next big prospect and others trying to find hidden gems. Now, as a college head coach himself, he'll be able to call his own shots and recruit who he wants to build a college football team in his own image.
As a high school head coach Poggi became known as a tough guy but also as someone who was more than willing to help players and coaches within his program. Poggi has been involved with some of the nation's top recruits, and he was able to find many of them because he understood how to build a recruiting network in a small, tightly knit community like Baltimore.
