Coach Albin is a GREAT man and this video is further proof.

Let's hope the people that wanted him gone after one season realize how fortunate they are to have him in Athens.
I've apologized for my stupidity in that regard several times. I suspect that most of the others in this camp feel similarly.
I never doubted he was a great guy. Every interaction I've ever had with him, I felt like I was the one who had to end it LOL I swear he would talk to you all day if he could.
Most of us were critical - rightfully so - after the bumpy start to the season, after a bad season, but he and Scott/Brian/Especially Spense turned it around - like good coaches do. We also continue to recruit well - at least from where I'm sitting.
The next hurdle would be to keep him in Athens. That I suspect might be a bigger challenge, with his kids now older and one married. And what most of us expect to be another 10-win season.
Let's just hope when that time comes, we look around hard. Though I suspect Scott is the next man up. Over Spense. I would also see what some of these re-treads are up to like Manny Diaz (Penn State DC), Barry Odom (Arkansas DC), Al Golden (Notre Dame DC), Matt Wells (Oklahoma analyst), Derek Mason (Oklahoma State DC) and Major Applewhite (South Alabama OC). Hartline could still be a possibility, even at a large paycut, I truly believe he's looking for that first HC gig and it might take some time to see a P5 offer. Scott Frost, I think could be a Frank-type that stays for years after being kicked around.
