A graduate and former football player at the University of Arizona, Phil Albert was the head football coach at Towson State University from 1972 to 1991. When he was named as the Tigers' coach at the age of 28, he was one of the youngest head football coaches in the nation, and Towson was starting just its fourth season of college football. Over the next twenty years, Coach Albert directed the very young program to success at three different levels of NCAA competition. His teams advanced to the NCAA post-season four times.
Coach Albert was named "Coach of the Year" 5 times. He coached 28 All-Americans and 4 NFL players, including punter Sean Landeta and the recently retired "All Pro" Dave Meggett, and Jermon Bushrod. In 1994, Phil was inducted into the Towson University Athletic Hall of Fame. From 1994 to 2001, he achieved success working with the San Diego Chargers organization as the Advanced Game Day Scout.
