Who is Bart Andrus?

 The Philadelphia Stars have their first head coach. Bart Andrus is a well-traveled football coach who has coached all over the world and across all different varieties of professional football. Andrus head coaching experience spans from the NFL Europe to the CFL. Andrus also had a brief stint as a position coach in the NFL for the Tennessee Titans, serving as an Offensive Assistant and QBs Coach. Andrus most recent head coaching experience was with the Spring League Generals organization, where he would preside over the best offense in the spring league. The year before that, Andrus served as the Head Coach of Team 9, the XFL`s development team.  


Andrus has received high praise from former players he coached in the spring league saying that he is a great offensive mind who has a great attention to detail. Former players also stated that Andrus led well run practices and was very organized. Andurs was able to put together the best offense in the Spring League in a relatively short amount of time given the amount of time between the start of training camp and the start of the season. This ability to quickly put together a dynamic offense will certainly be put to the test as there will be under 1 month between the start of training camp and the start of the season for the Bart Andrus`s led Philadelphia Stars.

USFL Partnering with broadcast giants to produce the league`s version of “Hard Knocks”

          Last week the USFL announced that it would be partnering with NFL Films and Fox Sports to produce a 13 episode, behind the scenes docu-series that will give USFL fans an in-depth look into the revived spring league.  The series looks to chronicle “the fascinating athlete personalities and the unique circumstances they find themselves in, as they pursue their dreams in a new spring football league.” This quote comes directly from the press release out of the USFL league office, and it serves to provide fans a telling glimpse of what the goal of the show is. The goal of this show seems to be, when one puts 2 and 2 together, to make the USFL`s version of “Hard Knocks”, HBO`s annual NFL docu-series about a selected team`s training camp.
