Following his playing career, Albin joined the coaching staff at Northeastern State as a graduate assistant coaching the wide receivers[3] from 1989 to 1991, while also completing his master's of science degree.[4] In 1992, he was promoted to offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. He served in that role for two years.[5]

Return to Northwestern Oklahoma State[]

In 1994, Albin returned to his alma mater at Northwestern Oklahoma State serving as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for three seasons. In 1997, Albin was promoted to head coach, a position he held for three seasons. Albin's teams improved every year going 5–5 in 1997, 7–3 in 1998, and then 13–0 in 1999. In 1999, Albin's Rangers won the NAIA Football National Championship. Albin was named the NAIA Coach of the Year by Rawlings and American Football Coach Magazine.[5] At Northwestern Oklahoma State, Albin coached longtime NFL WR Patrick Crayton, TE Brandon Christenson, DB Lynn Scott, and 2000 NFL Draft pick DT Ron Moore.

Nebraska[]

In 2000, Albin joined Frank Solich's staff at Nebraska as an offensive graduate assistant, working with the tight ends for three seasons. He helped coach Tracey Wistrom, who earned third team All-America honors in back-to-back seasons and was selected in the 2002 NFL Draft. In 2003, Albin was promoted to running back coach and pass game coordinator. After Solich's dismissal, Albin was not retained.[4] Albin coached NFL players Cory Ross, Tierre Green, and Steve Kriewald.

North Dakota State[]

He helped guide the Bison to an 8–3 season, and No. 25 national ranking in their first season in NCAA Division I-AA (now known as FCS).[4] From the offense, OL Rob Hunt was selected in the 2005 NFL Draft.

Ohio[]

In 2005, Albin rejoined Solich at Ohio when Solich was named head coach. Albin was the offensive coordinator and running backs coach from his arrival in Athens through the 2020 season.
