How about 2005? They had four DBs that later had NFL contracts:
Dion Byrum
Mark Parson
Mark Mitchell
TJ Wright
Wright, unfortunately, was injured shortly after signing, and never played. Parson and Bryrum mostly were on practice squads, but both did play some.
This is true of the 2008 squad posted earlier. I felt during most of the Knorr years and the early Solich era that the secondary was almost always the strongest unit Ohio had.
Great secondary as well with talent. I'm still miffed how some posters think this defense is loaded with talent. They are playing hard, but talent? Just not much there. That being said, they will win ball games this year.
So tells us how good a recruiter do you think Albin will be if he's given an extenstion. Will our talent level increase? Also, how do you rate Albin as a head coach? As good as Solich? Better than Solich? Worse than Solich?
Well first off, Solich had 16 years to produce no MAC titles, and go to Bowl games in the age of 65% of schools going Bowling. Tim has had 1 recruiting class. ONE! He's had one year where he has been able to work with a staff of his choosing. I mean, I get we are a fickle society, but really? Some of you are something else!
As for my thoughts, I see improvement in many areas, but there is a LOT of work to do. In some areas I see more positivity than has been in a long time.
