The 59-year-old coach was hired in December to replace Biff Poggi, who lasted less than two seasons, finishing with a record of 6-16. Albin came to Charlotte from Ohio University, where he won 10 games for the past three seasons in a row.
According to the memorandum of agreement signed by Albin and UNC Charlotte administrators, Albin will earn a base salary of $500,000 annually and receive supplemental yearly payments from the school’s athletic foundation of $400,000 in 2025, 2026 and 2027 and $500,000 in 2028 and 2029.
Poggi earned $1 million combined annually. These figures do not include outside endorsements and other supplemental income.
