Tim Albin has helped Ohio be one of the best teams in the MAC recently.
After a 3-9 record in his first season as Ohio’s head coach in 2021, Albin has led the Bobcats to three 10-win seasons the past few years. That includes two bowl wins.
But now, after leading his team to a MAC Championship victory over Miami (Ohio), he’s reportedly on his way out and will be becoming the head coach at Charlotte.
The 49ers went 5-7 in 2024, a season in which the program fired Biff Poggi.
Albin is 33-19 in the FBS as a head coach. That’s all from the past four years at Ohio. He’s currently 2-0 in bowl games.
Albin has spent a great deal of his coaching career at Ohio.
Before becoming the Bobcats’ head coach going into the 2021 season, he was the team’s offensive coordinator for 16 years. During that span, he mentored a good number of all-conference and All-American players. He also helped the Bobcats set several school records.
Before going to Ohio, Albin was an offensive coordinator and running backs coach at North Dakota State in 2004. He was at Nebraska for four years, first as a graduate assistant for three years, then as a passing game coordinator and running backs coach in 2003.
He began his coaching career at Northeastern State as an assistant from 1989-93. He then was the offensive coordinator at Northwest Oklahoma State, his alma mater, from 1994-96 and then was the program’s head coach from 1997-99.
