XFL announces head coaches with a couple of former Steelers included
- Thread starter PSUJam
- Start date
Interesting that Stoops has coached in two spring pro leagues, but does not seem interested in getting back to CFB (save for taking over for Reilly for the bowl game). If he returned, he would be a hot commodity - he could probably command top dollar - especially since Meyer may still be on the "outs" as a coach for a bit, given his recent issues and revelations.
The USFL has been resurrected and now the XFL going through yet another iteration simultaneously. The success rate of these leagues this century has not been impressive. The XFL keeps coming back, but recently it's been done simultaneously with rival leagues starting up. I do wonder if the chance of success (marketing, financial, and player pool) would increase if the folks running these projects would perhaps pool together their efforts. I think there can be enough interest in spring football out there if marketed and visioned correctly (i.e., a post-college developmental league of sorts that can boast rising talent not yet in the NFL). Pro leagues competing for the same niche space probably won't work (yet again).
This certainly can't hurt.
