Head coach Tim Albin enters his second season at the helm of the Niners program with a revamped roster and renewed excitement as he continues to build a sustainable winning culture in the Queen City.
A proven winner over the course of his career, Albin led Ohio to three consecutive 10-win seasons before taking over at Charlotte. He guided the Bobcats to a seven-win improvement in his second season in Athens and has a NAIA National Championship (1999) on his resume while at Northwestern Oklahoma State.
