University of North Carolina at Charlotte Football

A two-time Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year and the head coach of the 2024 MAC champions, Tim Albin was named Charlotte's fourth full-time head football coach by Director of Athletics Mike Hill on Sunday, December 8. Albin came to Charlotte following four seasons as the head coach at Ohio where he posted a 33-19 record including a 23-9 mark against conference opponents. Over the past three seasons, Albin led the Bobcats to 30 wins including three straight 10-win seasons from 2022-24, and a 20-4 mark vs. MAC foes. The 30 wins marked the most successful three-year run in program history. For his efforts, Albin was named a semifinalist for the Maxwell Football Club's Munger Award given to the nation's coach of the year. The consecutive 10-win seasons were program firsts for an Ohio program boasting over 130 years of college football existence. He has also led the Bobcats to three consecutive bowl game appearances and boasts a 2-0 record in the FBS postseason, winning the Arizona Bowl (2022) and Myrtle Beach Bowl (2023). He was recognized as the league's coach of the year during the 2022 and 2024 seasons. The 2024 MAC Championship was the program's first since 1968, prior to the creation of the championship game. The 35-point margin of victory over Miami (Ohio) was the largest in the 28-year history of the MAC Championship game while the three points allowed were the fewest allowed in title game history. Since 2005, the Woodward, Okla., native has been a part of the Ohio

Victor Cabral joined the Charlotte coaching staff in January 2026 as the 49ers’ defensive ends coach. He comes to the Queen City after one year at West Virginia as the team’s outside linebackers coach in 2024, helping the Mountaineers reach the Scooters’ Coffee Fisco Bowl against Memphis. Tyrin Bradley starred that year against Kansas with a forced fumble, fumble recovery, interception, one sack, and seven total tackles to take home National and Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week Honors. Before West Virginia, Cabral spent the 2023 season at App State as the defensive line coach. App State finished the season with a 9-5 record, including a Sun Belt Conference East Division Championship and a win over Miami (Ohio) in the Cure Bowl. Under Cabral’s leadership, the Mountaineers’ defense improved in every pass rushing statistic to finish with 35 sacks and 86 tackles for loss. The team jumped 14 spots to No. 33 nationally in sacks and 42 spots to No. 43 in tackles for loss. Freshman Santana Hopper finished second on the team with 7.5 tackles for loss en route to Freshman All-America honors and an All-Sun Belt Honorable Mention nod. Prior to App State, Cabral had three different stints at his alma mater, Georgia Southern, over a 16-year stretch, with stops at Samford and Georgia Military College in between. His final stop at Georgia Southern came from 2018-21, where he was the Eagles’ defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator. The Eagles led the Sun Belt in total defense, run
