Source: USFL Head Coaches will also be the GM

 In speaking with a source directly after the USFL announced its player selection meeting on February 22-23, it was indicated that this announcement could and most likely means the league has finalized all but one major detail before spring play. The last major detail being player selection. So essentially all the league needs are players and coaches, as the funding has been secured through Fox and the operating plans have been finalized. 


Now, what about coaches? It has been the prevailing thought among sources that head coaching searches are underway now to what depth and how far along those searches are remains speculation. Sources also said USFL fans should expect coaching staffs to be mostly, if not all filled out before the USFL draft, due to the importance of assistant coaches to the evaluation and draft process. Now as for who will be coaching the teams, sources also stated that due to the similarity of the two the leagues and the player and coach relationships formed, as much as half of the USFL head coaches could be from XFL. 


Finally and perhaps most interesting, similar sources stated that USFL head coaches will also  have general manager authority, meaning every head coach will also have the same authority as the general manager, meaning every USFL head coach with be both the head coach and general manager of his team, giving him full football authority over the team, virtually the same model as the XFL, expect the head coach will not retain the title of general manager, he will simply be just have his usual title of head coach.

Star of the Show: The Three Potential QBs for the Philadelphia Stars

  In all levels of football, the team goes as the quarterback goes, that is why for any team the selection of its quarterback is critical, especially one re-establishing itself after almost 30 years of being defunct. The quarterback position is the most difficult to play, to evaluate and to develop in all of sports, therefore it is important that the leadership of the Stars, leadership being those that are making the executive football decisions, define exactly what that player should be.
