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.

Offensive Line Part 1: Center and Guard

  One could argue the most crucial unit of the Philadelphia Stars will be the Offensive Line. A great offensive line must be able to protect the quarterback in critical passing situations against the best pass rush attacks, as well as assert physicality in the run game. The Philadelphia Stars offensive line must be fundamentally sound and reliable, as well as very tough and physical. This starts on from the inside out, with a great pair of guards and a tremendous center.    Outside of the quarterback, the center position is the most important position on the offensive side of the football. The center and the quarterback must be on the same page and be able to communicate quickly and seamlessly to set protections so that the offense can run efficiently. Also, the center must have quickness and athleticism to take on both defensive linemen and linebackers. Dylan Parham out of Memphis, who is coming off an All-AAC campaign in his first year at center could be a perfect fit...
