Albany will be fine dont worry! They will be competitive in the CAA for years to come similar to Villanova.UA will look different on Defense next season but they get most of their offense back. Couple that with the fact that most incoming transfers want to play for a winner.
Damn...I went heavy up on SDSU staight with points and now Ceasars app says I cant bet anymore unless I watch responsible gaming video! Any of you have this?
Maine was devastated by transfers and coach defections right after the 2018 season. The head coach took a P5 position coach job, and the defensive coordinator went to JMU as the D Coordinator for twice the money. The starting QB (Furguson) went to Liberty, I believe he had to sit out a year and never started. There were other players who left as well. Part of my thinking on Albany was that they would lose a bunch of talent, especially on defense. Today we learn that the anchors of their D-Line DE Juncaj and DT Hills are in the portal. As I posted elsewhere, I think that Poffenbarger might have jumped, but there are so many QBs in the portal already, especially FBS, it probably would not be a smart move.
I also think Greg Gattuso is not a great coach. Give him credit for assembling one of the best transfer teams in FCS this season, but a lot of these guys are one and done. I shouldn't be getting into a pissing contest with any Albany fans over this (and actually won't), all of whom have been calling for his head on a spike for years before this one good season. I think he has been coaching for 9 seasons and even after this 11-4 season, his overall record at Albany is below .500.

14 consecutive playoff appearances ending 6 years ago, looks like they may already be in the rear view mirror. But Rick Santos still has more winning seasons ahead of him and I suspect you probably sense that as well. This season was a disappointment at 6-5, particularly with All American offensive talent at QB and RB. Santos' W-L record is 21-14 after 3 seasons coaching the team with one Conference Championship.
