I'll disagree with this assessment a bit. Albin faced the difficult decision of firing a long time coach right away when the defense was struggling. He poached two top assistants from the teams rival which turned the program around. He demoted the OC and promoted from within when the offense was underperforming. He's made tougher moves internally in a four years than Frank did in 15 or so years.

Yea, that's a figure we had seen on our board and touted as a credit to his ability. At least from an outside perspective, that seemed very good and made him quite appealing. And it's a skill we will surely need as I wouldn't be surprised if we have already lost upwards of 50 guys entering the portal.

Hit me up on there. You claim to be a poster, so you can see in that thread who is the one who reported to have gone to the Ohio forum to put out your grease fire.

Seriously, whatever you are, grow up. Your schtick is lame. If you aren't a troll, you are a terrible representative of Charlotte and an embarrassment. Either way, the effect is bad. Not like we have a ton of great athletic press as it is.

You already know who i am. Think about the person who supposedly posted about me over here. His last post was what 8 months ago? Either way I'm here spreading the good news about our new coach!

I have no idea who you are, and I highly doubt you are a real poster. You don't sound like you even understand our board's interface. If you did, you would know who to reply to on there if you want to talk to me.

In any event, I'm not going to continue littering these fine people's board with our squabble. Hmu over there if you are so inclined.

If this is true and Albin is headed to Charlotte, I wish him nothing but the best and I will root for him.

He has been in Athens since 2005. Three straight 10 win seasons after taking the reins from Coach Solich. Now a MAC Championship on his resume.

I understand the desire to earn more $$$ and seek out new opportunities. That said, football wise this is an obvious downgrade and a puzzling move. Charlotte is an absolutely pathetic program, I am sorry. But I understand the desire to rebuild a program. It's like when you're playing NCAA football on Playstation and pick a hapless team to rebuild just to test your skills.

Ohio will be fine. There are plenty of men who can step up and do a great job at OUr program. We thought after losing Kurtis Rourke to the transfer portal that we would have to rebuild. Wrong, MAC Champions. It is possible that with the infrastructure that Solich/Albin built that the next HC could take us to even higher heights.

I love Coach Albin and want him to stay and wish that CFB wasn't like this. But this is the reality. $$$ talks and it would for me in my personal life too. So if Ohio is unable or unwilling to match what Albin is worth, I understand his decision completely.

Charlotte has a football program?

And they draw a good crowd on taco night.

Taco night?

Taco night.

People want this to be fact SO BADLY.

Even if it had a remote kernel of truth, you deal with the “drama” make a million a year and win 10 games every season. You don’t flee for the first job you’ve ever interviewed for - which is arguably one of the worst jobs in the country for a slightly higher raise. You know what’s real drama? A doormat of a program that has 5K fans going .500 and you’re unable to get a job again bc you’re a 65 year old man who collapsed in the AAC of all places.

We regularly sell out our 15K stadium.

I have no ill will for you and Charlotte fans, however weird I think this move is. Just a really low character way to leave for Albin after 20 years if what we are hearing is true.
