Getting back to Albin, my personal belief is that he's not going anywhere, at least, not unless he gets an offer that at least doubles his salary. Remember that he came in with Frank, and that he was with Frank at his prior job. He saw how Frank was treated by the administration, by the media, and by the fans. He knows how he is treated at Ohio, by the administration, by the media, and by the fans, and there is no comparison. Even with his horrible first year, he was never treated badly, and I think he appreciates that. Money is nice, but having a job you enjoy is also important.
That’s my belief as well. I don’t know the man personally, though I did sit near him in church once! ;-) There is just something about his personality and the way he’s bought into our culture, like wearing the Block O hat to honor Bill Hess, that makes me think he’s more in the mold of a Coach Hess, who once turned down a highly public officer by Pittsburgh for much more money, than he is like a Jim Grobe or a Danny Née, if I’m aloud to mix sports. I just don’t think greener pastures — as in filthy lucre — are a high priority with him. I could be entirely wrong. Would not be the first time. But, that’s just my sense of the man at this moment in time. One thing for sure, he’s certainly not a Brian Kelly, who never appears satisfied with any job, and keeps chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but never quite finding it, yet collecting lost of millions every time he pass GO.
