Charlotte 49ers football seeks turnaround under coach Tim Albin in 2026

The Charlotte 49ers enter the 2026 season aiming for improvement under head coach Tim Albin after a challenging 2025. Last season ended with a dismal 1-11 record, marking another year without an FBS win. This year's team is undergoing another overhaul as it hopes to build on the experience of returning players, including quarterbacks Conner Harrell and Grayson Loftis. Key questions remain about the team’s ability to score and improve its offensive performance, which struggled significantly last season. Charlotte's upcoming schedule presents a tough challenge as they look to secure their first FBS victory under Albin's leadership.
