Charlie Hall has been an assistant at several other universities and was the FCS Offensive Coordinator of the year in 2003 while at Northern Arizona University. The coach he replaced at Southern Oregon, the late Craig Howard, had head coaching experience. He was the head football coach at Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls from 1991 until 1992. Unfortunately, OIT dropped it's program after the 1992 season, long before he became Tim Tebow's coach. It was Tebow's call to the SOU Athletic Director that helped Howard get the job at Southern Oregon.
