Just because I was curious and you mentioned ESPN, which made me think of the "Next Boise" article in 2012.

After starting 2012 7-0 and being ranked for the first time in the polls at #23, Ohio lost immediately to Miami.

Ohio's record since the Sports Illustrated article came out is now 59-49 (.546)
We're cursed!!! 😂

So, so many +1s on here.

Some incredibly scary & sound points made ... non of which back Tim Albin as the man for this job.

16 years under Solich. Successful? Absolutely! Embarrassment of riches enough to "spoil our fanbase"? C'mon. One brief week being ranked and four MAC title game losses and a 5-6 bowl record during an era where a 6-6 record gets you a bowl bid ... I mean it's light years from Lichtenberg era but hardly would I call it spoiled riches. It's what any successful program should have as their floor. I've said this multiple times ... Frank laid a great foundation and my hope would be his successor would be someone that would build upon that ... not just keep the plateau going. Albin not only killed the plateau but he is doing exponential damage to not just the team but to the fanbase that was already dwindling before this season.

Last 16 years ...

Toledo, Western, Central, Miami, Akron, NIU, Ball St, Buffalo & BG have all won MAC titles.

Only EMU has failed to make it to a MAC title game in that time ... but even they won the league in 1987. Kent did it in 1972.

1968. 50+ years ago!!! The last time Ohio won the league!

And you're going to say the fan base is spoiled because 10+ years ago Ohio won 10 games in one season.

GTFOH.

Albin (the coach) has a high-profile position who gets paid more than the University's president. He should be held accountable and be open to public criticism and critiquing. That's part of the job.
Another obvious conclusion to draw is that there's not a rational reason to pay our football coach more than we our President.

We invested a ton in football for 15 years. What was the return? A paper tiger program that never won anything meaningful, never garnered meaningful fan support, and padded win totals with boring non-conference schedules.

It's entirely unclear to me why we'd go down that path again.

I’ve said it many times in other threads and was laughed out of the park. I think our head football and basketball coaches should make dean level money. We lose money on athletics. It takes a little losing for everyone to cry about money. Very funny. But if we are winning the sky is the limit for salaries, facilities, yada yada.

We’re not even through the first season of a new head coach and everything is ruined??? Give me a break. There are a lot of Ohio fans who have simply been spoiled by all the sustained success that this program has had over the past decade - and still complained about this program while and when it was winning - and in the first season of adversity, people are wanting to already run the new head coach off? And let’s not kid ourselves, if Frank was still coaching this season, many of these same people would be calling for him to be removed after this season due to this one season too. I have very much appreciated every bit of the success this program has had in the last decade (which many of our MAC peers would love to try and duplicate) and this team is still competing now despite the record. I understand the disappointment of the record this season coming off the heels of the last decade of success, but some people really need to get a grip. This team hasn’t quit unlike many “fans” on here have, they keep fighting. But you know what, many Ohio fans have been spoiled and are finally getting a taste of what a lot of programs face on a yearly basis. Maybe some of these fans are getting what they deserve through all of this, a bitter taste of reality. Because if this doesn’t make those people appreciate this program, then maybe nothing will. I get annoyed seeing so many players at schools all over the county leave schools nowadays at the first signs of adversity. The bottom line is a lot of fans aren’t much different. They want success but don’t appreciate it even when they have it, and want to run or start everything all over when adversity hits. It’s sad.
What exactly did we accomplish under Frank? He deserves all the credit in the world for getting this program out of the gutter, upgrading facilities, and raising the standards. But let's not kid ourselves, aside from a small handful of P5 and low level bowl wins, this program plateaued and couldn't take the next step. We lost to our rival in the only game we played as a ranked team. In the meantime, NIU goes to the Orange Bowl, WMU goes to the Cotton Bowl and gets Gameday to come to Kalamazoo. Every year, multiple MAC teams get 15-20 solid verbal commits before the season begins. I wouldn't trade our last 15 years for Miami's, but they at least have two conference championships in that time. There is absolutely nothing the NIU, WMU, and Toledos have accomplished that can't be done at Ohio. It's perfectly fair to be thankful for the level of success we experienced and also expect to ascend to the next step.
What did he accomplish? What did he accomplish??? Please tell me this isn't a real question. This can't be a serious question, can it? Holy $hit we have some ignorant and ungrateful "fans." Look at the history of this program before Solich, then look at what it did under Solich. Ohio had been to just 2....TWO....bowls in its HISTORY before Solich. He took them 11 bowls and won 5 of them! Look at Ohio's year-by-year records over the last half century, then look at what Ohio did under Solich. The only OU coach to do it better has his name on the stadium. Solich got his team into the Top-25, won a number of games vs Power Five teams and got to 4 MAC Championships by winning the division. And oh yeah, and he's the freakin' winningest coach in MAC history!!! As in #1. So get the hell outta here with that BS questioning man. The guy arguably did more for this program than ANYONE in its HISTORY, and you have the nerve to ask what exactly did Ohio accomplish under him??? That's beyond ignorant and downright offensive. F that question man. You may as well have spit in his face than to seriously ask such a stupid question like that. I hope that man doesn't ever read this board, he doesn't ever deserve to read such stupidity, especially coming from his own fans. That's beyond garbage.

I agree 100 percent. How anyone can defend Albin by saying that he should not be under scrutiny as someone who makes 500 grand a year as a public figure is laughable or a family member of Albin. I consider us a solid mid-major job and it was outright given to a dude who joined with Frank to produce one of the most vanilla offenses in college football the past 17 years. If I made 500 grand a year I would WELCOME a message board because I would work my butt off to serve those people who are passionate enough to post on it. If I did not succeed I would tender my own resignation and hope that someone would replace me who deserves to lead this program.
Anyone is subject to being scrutinized for their performances, especially in positions such as this. But for crying out loud, the man isn't even finished with his 1st season yet. But there's a big difference between scrutinizing someone, and demanding they be fired. I'm not saying he will be a good or bad coach, no one can possibly know that yet for sure. But we can't judge him solely on this alone - yet. There have been a ton of great coaches who started out poorly. Take a look at what Coach K did in his first three years at Duke. Look at Duke's conference finishes in each of those seasons. Coaches deserve some time to do their job. It's simply too early to fully judge TA at this time.

Stop. Please. We're begging you.

Coach K won 45% of his games in his 1st 3 years ... was 17-13 in his first year.

Albin will be lucky to win 10% of his games.

He'd have to go 10-6 in his next 16 games to get to 45%.

On what planet do you see that happening? Maybe your planet ... because your viewpoints on him are pretty out of this world.

The fact you would even insinuate Frank could maybe read this message board shows how out of touch with reality you are.

Enjoy the ride to 4-20. You can have the whole train to yourself

When talking about Coach Solich, several people have posted "upgrading facilities".

To me, "upgrading facilities" sounds like new hand dryers.

If it wasn't for Coach Solich, no IPF, no upgraded weight room,no Academic Center.

When it comes to physical infrastructure Ohio is not only on par with every school in the MAC, but a lot of other schools too.

I don't think Frank gets enough credit for that.

Have to disagree with some of your comments:

1.You make it sound like this is Albin's first season at O.U.

This is his first season as head coach.
He'd been O.C. for years.

He's worked with Frank the whole time.

He knows the program.

He was involved with recruiting the current players.

The rest of the staff was in place before he was named HC.

2.He has given no indication in play calling, demeanor or anything else
that he has the potential to be even a competent head coach.

3.Based on the transfer portal and recruiting, we're not judging him on this
year alone.
You don't need a crystal ball to see what the future of O.U. football
looks like in O.U. doesn't fire Albin.

Are you a Browns fan too? 😂😂

There's nothing wrong with giving Frank credit that is deserved for a resurgence in Ohio Football's relevance in the MAC while also pointing out that Frank simply didn't get it done when it comes to the ultimate goal. And that the staff he left behind isn't able to get it done.

Averaging 5-3 in the MAC every year is historically great? Are you going to say Marvin Lewis the best coach in Bengals history next?

Getting the bowl monkey off our back by beating Utah State is significant. After that, bowl games lost their luster for me. Horray, we beat UAB, UL-Monroe, and Nevada. I would expect us to be able to schedule home/home games with these programs. Who was the most talented team we've even played in a bowl game? Troy? East Carolina?

How satisfied have any of you been at the conclusion of any season? Don't know about you, but I sure do have a lot of "what could have been" takeaways at the end of our seasons. The end of 2006 was cool. Our first good season that ran into a vastly superior team in MACC. Being bowl eligible at the end of 2014 despite an obvious rebound year was alright. Other than that, there's been a lot to be desired.

It's good that for the vast majority of the Solich tenure, I could count on going to campus, get some good tailgate action, and expect to see competent, entertaining football, but at some point, you want what's next, and we never got that, even for a year.

I agree with a lot of what you say, especially the end of the regular seasons being very disappointing. I will give Solich due credit for winning 3 bowl games in a row though, something only two other MAC programs have ever done. And the quality of the bowl teams Ohio beat recently isn't too shabby. San Diego State, currently ranked 21st in the country, is 21-7 since Ohio thrashed them 27-0 in the Frisco Bowl; and Nevada is 12-4 (with potentially one of the top QBs in college football) since Ohio beat them in Boise. Maybe these aren't the elite teams on a P5 level, but that's okay, neither is Ohio. Quite frankly, SDSU at least has a more storied football program than Ohio does.

Oh god that Louisville game. Has to be high up on the list of utter disappointments. We looked like we didn't even want to be there. Honestly felt like the goal was "don't get injured for MAC play."

And you know what happened that year? We ended up dealing with a crapload of injuries anyway and went 7-6, 4-4 in MAC play. That was the year we lost three straight weeks like by a combined score of 123-16.

Man I didn't want to think about this, but now that I am...

-The ridiculous highs of 2012 only to completely fall off the rails after the Miami loss.

-The 2011 MAC title game. Really the only one Ohio probably SHOULD have won.

-The stupid losses to teams we were absolutely better than (Bad Kent State teams have about four of these)

-Absolutely crapping the bed in November multiple times

-2018 with a chokehold on the Division and primed for our 2nd double digit win season we fart it away against rival Miami. That was probably Frank's best shot outside of 2011 IMO. The only other MAC loss to that point was by 3 on the road at NIU, who ended up winning the crown. We coulda beat them in a rematch for sure.

-Getting absolutely torched by Troy in the 2010 bowl game was a huge wake up call in how far we really had to go to get where we wanted to be. Oh by the way, yet another season ruined by a loss to a crappy Kent State team.

After that debacle, Solich saw the need to change our offense to make it more like Troy's -- no-huddle, hurry-up and more pass oriented. We've gone no-huddle the past eleven years, but the rest of it hasn't happened. We get the play called, get in formation and stand there until less than five seconds on the play clock. Gives the defense a really good view of what we're doing. We even give them a few delay of game penalties as a bonus. And we're still run-reliant. Kent got at least 14 pts on us Saturday doing true hurry-up; they snapped the ball with 15-20 seconds left on the play clock. Several times our D was still moving players around at the snap. It would be great if we could execute more tempo in the offense.

We've gone no-huddle the past eleven years, but the rest of it hasn't happened. We get the play called, get in formation and stand there until less than five seconds on the play clock. Gives the defense a really good view of what we're doing. We even give them a few delay of game penalties as a bonus. And we're still run-reliant. Kent got at least 14 pts on us Saturday doing true hurry-up; they snapped the ball with 15-20 seconds left on the play clock. Several times our D was still moving players around at the snap. It would be great if we could execute more tempo in the offense.
And since 2016 who have been the directors of that offense that stands there until five seconds on the play clock?

I submit that this is a point worth pondering.
