Tim has had 1 recruiting class. ONE!
That's not exactly true.

This may be the first recruiting class that Albin is 100% responsible for.

But, as Offensive Coordinator for a number of years and Associate Head Coach beginning in 2019,he was involved with recruiting, at least on the offensive side of the ball.

Yeah, and look at that offense! Doing pretty well isn't it? Scoring some points, breaking passing records.

And as a HC, he has final say. As OC, he dealt with offensive players only. Where is this teams deficincy? Oh, wait, its on the Defense thread. ;-)

"Doing pretty well isn't it ?"

So far, the offense did well in the 2 out of five games.

One of those games was against an FCS team, with a less then
stellar defense.

Breaking passing records may be impressive in the record books.
But only matters if you win the games.

Let's see what happens the rest of the way out.

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.

BTC,

I do not follow the recruiting services well or know who is better. From watching Twitter and seeing who is visiting,our offers it seems to be a higher level of player. Is that true in your mind?

Very much so. Remember how people used to cry when it was June and July and we had no commits. That's not the case any longer. But, but hey, some want blood so bad and are sadly rooting for OHIO to fail, it's really kind of sad.

Then we may need to ride this out a bit. If he can land them, maybe we rise up.

There were literally 80 unofficial visit recruits there today per sources. We’ll see if anybody comes from that .
