Charlotte 49ers Confirm Tim Albin as Head Coach

The Charlotte 49ers have announced Tim Albin as their new head football coach following his successful tenure at Ohio University, where he led the team to their first Mid-American Conference (MAC) title since 1968. Albin achieved a 33-19 record over four seasons, including back-to-back ten-win seasons and victories in two bowl games. His hiring at Charlotte follows the dismissal of Biff Poggi and is seen as a strategic move to leverage his success in building competitive teams with limited resources. Albin, a two-time MAC Coach of the Year, is expected to sign a five-year deal with Charlotte. The 49ers aim to transform their performance in the American Athletic Conference, where they have struggled since joining two years ago.
