Report: Tim Albin signs two-year extension to stay with Ohio

The Ohio Bobcats have reportedly locked in their head football coach of the future for two more seasons, with ESPN’s Pete Thamel reporting Tim Albin and the university agreed to terms early Tuesday afternoon.

The university confirmed the new contract for Albin, who won MAC Coach of the Year honors in 2022, via press release on Tuesday evening.

The deal elongates the current contract until the 2026-27 season, while also giving Albin a raise in annual salary from $535,000 to $700,000 per season. The reported new contract language also automatically extends the contract one year if Ohio wins eight games and/or the MAC championship.
