LEAGUE HISTORY

LEAGUE HISTORY

In the mid-1990s when the Los Angeles Rams moved to St. Louis and the Houston Oilers relocated to Nashville, Bill Hambrecht was mysti� ed. It seemed illogical that National Football League teams would leave two of the largest and best potential growth markets in the country. From a marketing angle, he knew there was room for more football teams around the United States. In conversations during this same period with coaching legend Bill Walsh, Hambrecht realized that there were many good football players who were on the verge of making NFL rosters, but often missed out due to the numbers game.

Fast forward a little more than 10 years, and Hambrecht’s vision of expanding the football landscape beyond NFL markets and providing a platform for those promising players now has become a reality. The United Football League played its “Premiere” season during the fall of 2009 and is preparing for a second season set to kicko� in September of 2010.

Although the UFL � rst piqued the public’s interest in an article in The New York Times Magazine on June 3, 2007, Hambrecht by then already was several years into planning his disruptive business model for a professional football league that would complement the NFL. Many, if not all, of the core tenets on which the league was conceived still remain today. The basic principles of the Hambrecht model were to provide

quality football at a� ordable prices in underserved markets. In staying true to that goal, the UFL ensured the average ticket price for a UFL game is $20.

Early on, Hambrecht partnered with smart business people to develop the plan and then sought top-notch football experts to execute. Hambrecht had established a relationship with former Google executive Tim Armstrong, now CEO of AOL, and together they invested the seed money to launch the league. Sports team owner and investor Mark Cuban showed early support of the league, and he subsequently came on board o� ering his television network, HDNet, to broadcast some of the games. Hambrecht conducted his due diligence on the past failures of other professional leagues and took calculated measures not to repeat those enterprises’ past mistakes. First and foremost, Hambrecht sought personnel who have worked in the trenches, or in this case the sidelines/front o� ces of the NFL, to oversee the football operations. In September of 2008, former Senior Vice President of Football Operations of the Jacksonville Jaguars Michael Huyghue was named the � rst Commissioner of the UFL.

Hambrecht commented on the Commissioner’s hiring: “Michael possesses the perfect combination of � rsthand

experience in the football industry with the strategic vision necessary to shape and launch the UFL.”

Commissioner Huyghue was familiar with start-up operations, having been a primary architect behind the Jaguars’ roster and helping the team to become the winnngest franchise in expansion history. During Huyghue’s tenure with the team, the Jaguars won two AFC Central Division championships and made an unprecedented two AFC Championship Game appearances.

The initial plan was to launch the UFL in the fall of 2008. While many debate the merits of playing at the same time as the NFL and college football, research indicated that the fall is when fans are most interested in watching football and attending games.

The onset of the largest economic downturn since the Great Depression reduced the number of initial investors and delayed the league’s debut. It also reinforced the overall premise of the league, which is to provide quality sports entertainment at a� ordable prices during a time when fans are seeking less expensive leisure time activities. The “Premiere” season validated the UFL belief that even in a tough economic environment, fans will invest in entertainment and few options are greeted with more passion than quality football.

One of the primary goals of the UFL was to carve out a presence in markets void of professional football. Commissioner Huyghue visited numerous cities, some of which previously had housed alternate league teams. After numerous meetings with investors, stadium representatives and government o� cials, the inaugural cities were selected.

LEAGUE HISTORY

The 2009 “Premiere” seasonThe 2009 United Football League “Premiere Season” was a success for the mere fact that it was played, given that it had been more than three decades since a professional football league played its games during the traditional fall football season.

But the inaugural UFL campaign gave fans exactly what the league said it would - high-quality professional football during a traditional fall season while embracing innovation and fan interaction.

In 2009, the UFL � elded four teams - the California Redwoods, Florida Tuskers, Las Vegas Locomotives and New York Sentinels. Florida quickly established itself as a dominant team, and ran the table during the regular season. Las Vegas lost twice to the Tuskers in a 16-day period, but � nished the regular season on a three-game winning streak to reach the championship game.

As it turned out, the initial UFL Championship Game was the most competitive game of the “Premiere Season.” It also was the � rst game where the league’s unique overtime rules - where both teams are guaranteed at least one possession - were implemented. When the dust settled at Sam Boyd Stadium, nearly 15,000 fans saw Locos kicker Graham Gano, who had also scored the � rst points in league history, end the inaugural UFL season with a 33-yard � eld goal 1:43 into overtime.

After the game, Las Vegas head coach Jim Fassel was carried o� the � eld after winning his � rst professional championship, and he and his Locos were awarded the William Hambrecht Trophy as the � rst-ever UFL champions.

The Locos and Tuskers saved the best for last, as 27 of the game’s 37 points were scored in the fourth quarter and overtime, and the lead changed hands three times in a matter of 7 minutes.

The championship game illustrated how the quality of play and competitiveness of the UFL games improved as the season went along. Of the � nal eight games in the regular season and the championship game, � ve were decided by a touchdown or less.

The “Premiere Season” featured many names familiar to professional football fans. From head coaches like Fassel, Florida’s Jim Haslett and California’s Dennis Green to players such as Las Vegas quarterback J.P. Losman, Locos linebacker Teddy Lehman and Florida running backs Tatum Bell and Michael Pittman, the UFL proved it could stock its teams with the best available talent. Meanwhile, the league also was adept

at making its own stars in California running back Cory Ross and New York wide receiver Craphonso Thorpe.

After the championship game, Florida quarterback Brooks Bollinger was named the UFL’s Motorola Most Valuable Player, and Haslett earned the league’s Men’s Wearhouse Coach of the Year award. In leading the Tuskers’ high-powered o� ense, Bollinger was the UFL’s leading passer with a 112.8 passer rating, 1,518 yards and 14 touchdowns. Haslett guided Florida to a perfect 6-0 regular season, as the Tuskers won those games by an average of 15.2 points per contest.

LEAGUE HISTORY

The United Football League in 2010In February and early March of 2010, the UFL featured a series of major announcements that would help shape the future of the league.

The � rst announcement came in Orlando, Florida, as Florida Tuskers o� ensive coordinator Jay Gruden was elevated to the position of head coach after the Washington Redskins of the NFL hired Jim Haslett. One week later, Hartford, Connecticut, became the new home of the New York Sentinels, and former NFL head coach and coordinator Chris Palmer was announced as the team’s head coach and general manager. The Hartford franchise launched a “Name the Team” contest that resulted in the birth of the Hartford Colonials after thousands of fans suggested potential names.

In early March, the city of Sacramento was announced as the permanent home of the California franchise of the UFL that had played games in San Jose and San Francisco during the “Premiere”

season. The Sacramento team also launched a “Name the Team” contest to � nd a name that best represented Sacramento and the surrounding region. Ultimately, Mountain Lions was selected by fans.

Expansion came by the way of the Omaha Nighthawks, who introduced head coach Je� Jagodzinski, formerly of Boston College in April 2010, and the new team enjoyed an instant rapport with the passionate football fans of Nebraska. Nighthawks season tickets were snapped up in the thousands as a wave of excitement engulfed the news that Omaha’s professional football team would play at the historic Rosenblatt Stadium as the league’s � fth team in 2010.

In July, the UFL announced its � rst expansion team for the 2011 season, to be placed in the Norfolk-Tidewater-Hampton Roads region of Virginia.

COACH BIOS

Jay GrudenHead Coach

One of the top young coaches in all of professional football, Jay Gruden is in his � rst season as head coach of the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League.

Gruden began his UFL tenure in 2009 when then-head coach Jim Haslett named him o� ensive coordinator. Under Gruden’s direction, the Tuskers o� ense averaged a league-best 30.5 points per game and � nished the

season with a perfect 6-0 record.

When Haslett resigned to join the sta� of the Washington Redskins, the UFL named Gruden head coach on Feb. 9, 2010.

Gruden brings a wealth of professional football experience to his post. From 2002-2008, he served as an o� ensive assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During his tenure, the Bucs won three divisional titles and collected a Super Bowl Championship.

A long-time head coach in the Arena Football League, Gruden served two separate stints (2004-08 and 1998-2001) as head coach and general manager of the Orlando Predators. During his nine-season reign, Gruden led the Predators to four ArenaBowl appearances and a pair of championships. Under Gruden, Orlando never failed to make the playo� s and posted an overall record of 93-61 (.604 winning percentage).

Gruden continues to rank in the top 10 in AFL history in wins, post-season wins and winning percentage.

Prior to being named head coach of the Predators, Gruden served one season as o� ensive coordinator of the Nashville Kats, where he was credited with developing Andy Kelly into one of the AFL’s top quarterbacks. With the help of Gruden, the expansion Kats won 10 games and earned a playo� spot.

An accomplished AFL player, Gruden quarterbacked the Tampa Bay Storm from 1991-96, winning four championships in six years. Gruden was a � rst-team All-Arena selection twice and was the league’s MVP in 1992. After coaching the Predators for four seasons, he abruptly resigned to return to the playing � eld as quarterback of the Predators. In two seasons, Gruden threw for 5,900 yards and 117 touchdowns.

In 2003, Gruden was compiling his � nest season as a pro. Completing 62% of his passes, he threw for 49 touchdowns and just two interceptions. After being injured late in the season, it was later learned that Gruden had played his � nal regular season games and two playo� games on a broken leg and ankle.

For his AFL career, Gruden passed for more than 21,000 yards and 398 touchdowns in the regular season and added more than 4,700 yards and 77 touchdowns in the post-season. As a playo� quarterback, Gruden won 15 of 19 starts. For league’s 20th anniversary, the AFL named Gruden number four on its list of the 20 Greatest Players in AFL history.

In his professional football career covering 24 seasons as either a player, assistant coach or head coach, Gruden’s teams have made the playo� s 20 times and have won seven championships.

A three-year starter at Louisville (1985-88), Gruden passed for more than 7,000 yards and 44 touchdowns under head coach Howard Schnellenberger. A two-time team MVP, Gruden still ranks in the top � ve in most passing categories in Cardinal history. After graduating with BS degree, Gruden spent one season as a graduate assistant on Schnellenberger’s sta� – helping Louisville to an appearance in the Fiesta Bowl.

Gruden hails from a football family. His father Jim is a long-time college and NFL assistant coach and scout, while his brother Jon is a former NFL head coach with the Raiders and Buccaneers. Gruden, 43, and his wife Sherry are the parents of three sons, JJ, Joey and Jack.

Chuck BresnahanDefensive Coordinator/Linebackers Coach

Chuck Bresnahan, who coached the Florida Tuskers linebackers last season, was elevated to the position of Defensive Coordinator by � rst-year head coach Jay Gruden.

Under Bresnahan, the Tuskers had one of the UFL’s top linebacker corps last season. The defense allowed a league-low 15.3 points per game in helping

Florida to a perfect 6-0 regular season record.

Bresnahan joined the Tuskers coaching sta� after spending four seasons on the Cincinnati Bengals coaching sta� , including the � nal three as defensive coordinator. In his � rst two seasons as coordinator, the Bengals � nished second in the NFL in takeaways and also captured their � rst division title in 17 years.

His NFL experience dates back to 1994, where he spent two seasons with Cleveland as linebackers/quality control coach and two seasons with Indianapolis as linebackers coach. Bresnahan joined the Oakland Raiders in 1998 as defensive backs coach before being promoted to defensive coordinator in 2000. In his three seasons as defensive coordinator, the Raiders won three consecutive AFC West titles. His defense helped carry Oakland to an AFC Championship and a berth in Super Bowl XXXVI.

A graduate of the United States Naval Academy, Bresnahan played linebacker for Navy from 1979-82 and served as a commissioned o� cer from 1984-86. Prior to his 1983 assignment to military duty, he launched his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Navy. Following completion of his service, he coached at Navy, Georgia Tech and Maine. With the Yellow Jackets, he coached inside linebackers and was part of the sta� that led Georgia Tech to the 1990 National Championship.

COACH BIOS

Je� JagodzinskiHead Coach

Je� Jagodzinski was named Head Coach of the Omaha Nighthawks on April 15, 2010. He served as Boston College’s head football coach for two seasons (2007-2008) and left Boston College after leading the Eagles to a cumulative 20-8 record. The 2008 Eagles � nished the regular season with a record of 9-3 and advanced to the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game for the second consecutive year as the league’s Atlantic Division champion.

Following the 2008 season, he was named New England Coach of the Year.

In his � rst season leading the Eagles in 2007, the team began the season 8-0, the third-best start in school history. After their win over No. 8 Virginia Tech, the Eagles climbed to No. 2 in both major polls, their highest ranking since being ranked No. 1 in 1942, as the squad became the � rst BC football team to win 10 or more games in consecutive seasons. The team won the ACC Atlantic Division that season and advanced to the ACC Championship Game for the � rst time and � nished 10th in the � nal AP college football poll and 11th in the USA Today poll, their highest � nal ranking since the 1984 season.

During the 2007 season, he tutored ACC Player of the Year, QB Matt Ryan, who went on to become the 2008 NFL AP O� ensive Rookie of the Year after being drafted third overall by the Atlanta Falcons. T Gosder Cherilus was also a � rst-round draft selection (17th pick, Detroit Lions) and S Jamie Silva became a consensus All-America � rst-team selection under Jagodzinski.

Prior to his stint at Boston College, Jagodzinski served as the o� ensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers in 2006, leading an o� ense that featured QB Brett Favre, 1,000-yard rusher RB Ahman Green and 1,000-yard receiver WR Donald Driver.

He spent the two seasons (2004-2005) before his appointment in Green Bay on the sta� of the Atlanta Falcons. After serving as tight ends coach in 2004, he was promoted to o� ensive line coach in 2005. Under Jagodzinski’s direction, the Falcons led the NFL in rushing with 2,546 yards in 2005 while RB Warrick Dunn rushed for a career-high 1,416 yards on his way to the Pro Bowl. Falcons TE Alge Crumpler was voted to the Pro Bowl after leading all NFL tight ends with a 16.1-yard per-catch average.

Prior to joining the Falcons, Jagodzinski spent � ve years (1999-2003) as the Packers’ tight ends coach and was instrumental in launching the career of three-time Pro Bowl TE Bubba Franks.

Jagodzinski’s initial stint in the NFL came after 14 years as a college coach, including two successful seasons (1997-1998) as o� ensive coordinator at Boston College. During his two seasons in Boston, his o� enses averaged more than 400 yards per game as the Eagles allowed the fewest sacks in the Big East, going from last to � rst in 1997. Jagodzinski also coached Seahawks All-Pro QB Matt Hasselbeck during his 1997 senior season at Boston College.

Before leading the o� ense at Boston College, Jagodzinski served on coaching sta� s at East

Carolina (1989-1996), Louisiana State (1987-1988), Northern Illinois (1986), and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (1985), his alma mater. Jagodzinski was a three-year starter and four-year player (1981-1984) at fullback for the Warhawks, while earning a B.S. degree in education at Whitewater in 1985.

Jagodzinski attended West Allis (Wisconsin) Central High School, where he played football and baseball, earning all-conference honors in football and participating in the Shrine game, the state’s all-star contest, following his senior season. Born October 12, 1963, in Milwaukee, Jagodzinski and his wife, Lisa, have � ve children: Josh, JoAnne, Jessica, Jacqueline and Jennifer.

Rick MuellerGeneral Manager

Mueller was a key contributor in the success of the UFL “Premiere” season as his guidance and expertise helped assemble a league of talented coaches and players demonstrating high quality football. In 2010 he became General manager of the expansion team Omaha Nighthawks.

Prior to coming to the UFL, Mueller was Vice President of Player Personnel for the New Orleans Saints where his role ranged from evaluating current

and future NFL free agents to studying college prospects and supervising and coordinating the organization’s college and pro scouts.

In eight seasons in New Orleans, Mueller helped shape the club’s last seven drafts and free-agent classes, which formed the foundation of a team that in 2006 captured the NFC South title and advanced to the NFC Championship Game. Mueller arrived at the Saints following a six-year stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he was instrumental in their rapid rise from expansion franchise in 1995 to AFC powerhouse.

In 13 NFL seasons, the teams that Mueller has helped build have compiled a record of 111-97 and earned six playo� appearances – including advancing to three conference championship games.

From 1996-99, Jacksonville captured two AFC Central Division titles and played in a pair of conference championships. Mueller served as the Jaguars’ Director of College Scouting in 1998-99 and was in charge of his initial college draft in 1999. Prior to being promoted, Mueller was Jacksonville’s college scout for the Western United States.

In 1993, Mueller was Director of Player Personnel and wide receivers coach for the CFL

Sacramento Gold Miners. In the spring and summer of 1992, he was defensive assistant and special teams coach for the World League’s Sacramento Surge as they posted an 8-2 record and captured the World Bowl.

Rick LantzDefensive Coordinator/Linebackers

Lantz has spent 38 years coaching major college football, 30 of which have been spent as a defensive coordinator. Since 2007, he has been consulting for head coaches at the college level, helping them to “Lead Their Teams” and to develop e� ective “Coaches Performance Standards.”

Lantz’s � rst coaching position was as the head coach of Bridgton Academy (Maine) in 1964 before he became an assistant coach at Boston University

from 1965 to 1967 and then at the United States Naval Academy from 1971 to 1976. Lantz was defensive coordinator at the University of Bu� alo from 1968 to 1970, and then held the same position at the University of Miami from 1977 to 1980 and Georgia Tech from 1982 to 1983.

Lantz was the defensive line coach at Notre Dame for a year before being named the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at the University of Louisville, where he remained from 1986 to 1990. He was defensive coordinator at the University of Virginia from 1991 to 2001, and returned to the Naval Academy as the interim head coach in 2001.

Lantz’s coaching career in the professional ranks began in 1981, when he spent a year as an assistant coach for the New England Patriots. In 2004, he spent two years as the head coach of the Berlin Thunder of NFL Europe, leading them to the World Bowl title in his � rst season. He took the Thunder back to the World Bowl the following year, where they lost narrowly to the Amsterdam Admirals.

Lantz is a graduate of Central Connecticut University in New Britain, Connecticut, and also spent four years in the U.S. Marine Corps prior to becoming head coach at Bridgton Academy.

Kirk DollSpecial Teams/Linebackers

Before joining the Nighthawks’ coaching ranks, Doll was special teams coordinator at Texas A&M for two years, having returned to the college ranks in 2008 and resuming a career that began at Wichita State in 1975. He spent three seasons with the Denver Broncos as the special teams coordinator, then linebackers coach.

Doll coached at Texas City High School from 1978 to 1979 before moving to Iowa State and then Tulsa, where he was o� ensive line coach from 1980 to 1984. He switched to the defensive side of the ball at Arizona State in 1985, where he helped the Sun Devils to the Rose Bowl.

During his � rst stint at Texas A&M, which came between 1988 and 1993, Doll reached � ve bowl games in six years, and his charges led the country in total defense in 1991. Doll moved to Notre Dame, working under Lou Holtz and Bob Davie and held a variety of positions, including coaching linebackers, special teams and kickers. From 1997 to 2001, he was the assistant head coach, and during his eight years in South Bend the Fighting Irish played in � ve bowl games.

Doll joined Nick Saban at LSU as assistant head coach and linebackers coach, helping LSU claim a share of the 2003 college football national championship.

Doll earned his BA from East Carolina and graduated cum laude from Wichita State in 1976.

Carl HairstonDefensive Line

Carl “Big Daddy” Hairston comes to Omaha having helped Jim Haslett and the Florida Tuskers to an undefeated regular season last year, before falling just short in the 2009 UFL Championship Game against the Las Vegas Locos.

Hairston became a college scout for the Arizona Cardinals, the club where he ended a successful NFL playing career, then became a scout for the Kansas City Chiefs in 1994.

Chiefs head coach Marty Schottenheimer made Hairston his defensive line coach, as the Chiefs posted a 13-3 record in 1995 and the Kansas City defense ranked third in the NFL with 47 sacks. Hairston rejoined the coach who had drafted him, Dick Vermeil, with the St Louis Rams, where he was defensive line coach from 1997 to 2000. During that time, he coached three di� erent players to double-digit sack seasons, including Leslie O’Neal, who had a ten-sack performance, and helped the Rams to a Super Bowl XXXIV victory, with his unit compiling 57 sacks to tie for the league season high.

Hairston was an early mentor to defensive line juggernaut Jared Allen, helping him to 20 sacks in his � rst two years in the NFL before moving to the Green Bay Packers in 2006 as defensive ends coach.

As a player, Hairston starred at the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore and was taken in the seventh round of the 1976 NFL Draft by Vermeil’s Philadelphia Eagles. He played for the Eagles until 1983, when he joined the Cleveland Browns, before playing one season with the Arizona Cardinals in 1989. He started 184 of 224 career games and amassed 1,141 tackles and 94 sacks. He started at defensive end in Super Bowl XV against the Oakland Raiders, which was one of 15 postseason games in which he played.

Ron HudsonQuarterbacks

Hudson started his coaching career in 1972 with the University of California with wide receivers. He moved on to running backs at the University of Oregon in 1977 and UCLA in 1979 before getting his � rst o� ensive coordinator position with Notre Dame in 1994. He was at ND until 1985, and then worked as running backs coach at University of Illinois followed by quarterbacks coach at Ohio State. He then moved to Kansas State University

where he spent the next eight years, putting together a potent o� ensive attack. In all eight of his seasons at the school the team posted at least 10 wins, including going to six consecutive bowl games. Kansas State let NCAA Division I-A in o� ense during the 1998 season and set a school record for points scored with 610. In 2003, he joined the University of Kentucky for a very brief period as o� ensive coordinator before moving to the Hamburg Sea Devils of NFL Europe until the league shut its doors.

Roger HughesWide Receivers

A native of Crawford, Nebraska, Hughes attended Nebraska Western Junior College on a basketball scholarship then transferred to Doane College in Crete, Neb., where he played football and golf before graduating in 1982.

Hughes’ � rst job in coaching was also at Doane, where he coached for a year before starting graduate work at Nebraska, where helped the Cornhuskers to the 1984 Sugar Bowl and the 1985 Fiesta Bowl as a graduate assistant.

Hughes returned to Doane as o� ensive coordinator, then became running backs coach at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and in his year there, helped his team to a conference championship and a berth in the NCAA Division II quarter� nals. His next stop took him to Cameron University in Oklahoma, where he spent three years as o� ensive coordinator and strength and conditioning, quarterbacks and o� ensive line coach.

In 1992, Hughes moved on to Dartmouth, where his o� ense helped the Big Green to the Ivy League Championship, and repeated the win in 1996. Under his guidance, the o� ense set single-game records for passing and total yardage in school history and he coached future NFL quarterback Jay Fielder. Dartmouth went 10-0, one of only four teams to do so in league history.

After eight successful years with Dartmouth, Hughes became head coach at Princeton in 2000. During his 10 years at Princeton, three quarterbacks placed in the top six all-time passing and he became the only coach in the history of Ivy League football to improve a team by at least two wins in three straight seasons.

He guided Princeton to the 2006 Ivy League title despite starting both an entirely new o� ensive line and linebacker corps. His o� ense � nished � rst in the Ivy League in both passing yards and total yards, and senior quarterback Je� Terrell became Princeton’s � rst Bushnell Cup winner (Ivy League Player of the Year) since 1995. Hughes was runner up for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award.

Michael KetchumO� ensive Line/Quality Control

Ketchum comes to the UFL with a wide array of sporting experience, which has no doubt helped him adapt to the changing conditions in football. He was a four-year starter at the University of the South from 1996 to 1998, while at the same time being very involved with the school’s rugby program. Furthermore, he was a two-year letterman in high school with their varsity wrestling program.

That achievement landed Joe the defensive coordinator role at the University of Cincinnati. In 2007, the Bearcats tied the South Florida Bulls for the national lead in turnovers and interceptions. Further, in 2008, Joe led a team that � nished second in the Big East in scoring defense and rushing defense. Most recently, Joe was the defensive coordinator at the University of South Florida.

their respective NFL Drafts and Mountain Lions Daunte Culpepper rose to prominence under Kruczek who was his head coach at the University of Central Florida.

Kruczek, an all-America quarterback at Boston College and owner of two Super Bowl rings while a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, joined the Arizona Cardinals after 19 seasons at the University of Central Florida (UCF), including six as head coach. In 2005, Kruczek’s quarterbacks Kurt Warner and Josh McCown helped direct the Cardinals to the number one-ranked pass o� ense in the NFL (4,437 yards) and an eighth ranked overall o� ense. Warner and McCown combined to set new team records in � rst downs passing (224), net yards passing (4,437), gross yards passing (4,723), attempts (670) and completions (419).

Kruczek concluded his playing career in 1980 with the Washington Redskins.

Kruczek, who owns a degree in marketing from Boston College, received his � rst coaching experience as quarterbacks coach under Bobby Bowden at Florida State from 1982–83, then spent one season (1984) as quarterbacks coach for the Jacksonville Bulls of the USFL prior to joining the sta� at UCF.

UFL Expansion inVIRGINIA

The United Football League plans to establish three further expansion teams and kicko� the 2011 season as an eight-team league. On June 21, 2010, the UFL board announced that the Hampton Roads region of Virginia is to host the league’s sixth team.

UFL Commissioner Michael Huyghue said of the plans: “Like Omaha, which came on board as an expansion team in April and generated considerable excitement, this area of Virginia � ts the ideal UFL model of having a passionate fan base that we believe deserves a professional football team.”

Virginia native Ed Reynolds will serve as team President and will oversee operations on a day-to-day basis. Reynolds has been an integral � gure at the heart of the UFL as Vice President, Administration & Special Assistant to the Commis-sioner since the league’s inception.

“Any time you have a chance to take advantage of coming back to your home state is an opportunity to relish and look forward to,” said Reynolds. “It is an exciting opportunity to create synergy and establish a great product like the United Football League in a market that is dynamic and ready for professional football.”

Washington Redskins legend Doug Williams, the MVP of Super Bowl XXII and the � rst black quarterback to win a Super Bowl, will serve the General Manager of the Virginia team.

“I have seen the level of talent that is out there and eager to play in this league to prove themselves and we will bring the very best of those players to this team,” said Williams.

In establishing a team management structure, Reynolds has brought UFL Senior Director of Strategic Planning Nick Rudd and Virginia-based public relations consultant John Castleberry on board with the Virginia expansion team.

Rudd is responsible for leading the league’s investor strategy, which encompasses expansion and investment-related initiatives, and will manage the day-to-day strategic development of the Virginia team. He has worked alongside UFL Commissioner Michael Huyghue and COO Bill Peterson to build out the investor base in Omaha, Virginia and other potential UFL markets. Rudd was an investment banker before joining the UFL in 2009, and graduated from Columbia University where he was an All Ivy football player.

Castleberry has spent more than 20 years working as an award-winning broadcast journalist. He brings an extensive knowledge of the Virginia market and contacts within the media industry to bene� t the expansion team’s pubic rela-tions endeavors.

The Virginia team will face the Florida Tuskers, Hartford Colonials, Las Vegas Locos, Omaha Nighthawks, Sacramento Mountain Lions and two additional expansion teams when the third United Football League season kicks o� in 2011.

The Virginia team has launched its own web page within the o� cial UFL website at www.u� -football.com/virginia where fans can sign up to receive ticket information and has a growing social media presence at www.facebook.com/UFLVirginia and www.twitter.com/UFLVirginia.

Doug WilliamsGeneral Manager

Doug Williams was the � rst African-American quarterback to start and also win a Super Bowl when he produced a Most Valu-able Player performance as the Washington Redskins defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXII.

Williams enjoyed a stellar college career at Grambling and just � ve games into his freshman year became the starting quar-terback. He led the Tigers to an 11-1 record and the � rst of three Southwestern Athletic Conference championships during his four seasons as a starter as the Tigers had a 35-5 record overall. In 1977, he led the nation in touchdown passes, 38, and passing yards, 3,286.

He was named All-America quarterback by the Associated Press and was fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting. Williams was named the Black College Player of the Year twice. His career totals were NCAA records in passing yards, 8,411, total o� ense yards, 8,354, and touchdown passes, 93.

Williams was selected in the � rst round (17th overall) of the 1978 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a franchise that had never advanced to the playo� s until Williams arrived. In three out of the next four seasons the Buccaneers made playo� appearances, and in 1979 they played in the NFC Championship game.

Williams joined the USFL and played with the Oklahoma Outlaws who later became the Arizona Outlaws for four seasons until the league disbanded in 1986. Williams returned to the NFL in 1986 and signed with the Washington Redskins and led his team to an opening day victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. In Super Bowl XXII as the Redskins routed the Denver Broncos 42-10, Williams completed 18 of 29 passes for 340 yards and four touchdown passes and was named Super Bowl MVP.

In 1997 Williams returned to Grambling as head football coach, succeeding the legendary Eddie Robinson. His team went 10-2 in 2000, 11-1 in 2001, and won the championship of the Southwestern Athletic Conference both years.

He rejoined the Buccaneers as a personnel executive and in 2009 was promoted to the director of professional scouting. He and his wife, Raunda, have six children: Ashley, Adrian, Doug, Jr., Jasmine, Laura and Temessia.

The � rst meeting of the season between the Tuskers and the Locomotives established Florida as the top team in the UFL. The Tuskers ran out to a 22-0 lead after three quarters and did not look back, and, in the process, took over � rst place in the league by themselves.

The hero in the � rst half for Florida was kicker Matt Bryant, whose three � eld goals and an extra point accounted for 10 of Florida’s 16 points. Once again, the Tusker defense was stout, giving up just 140 yards to Las Vegas on the Locos’ � rst seven possessions. Florida quarterback Brooks Bol-linger, a week after throwing four touchdown passes to four di� erent receivers, recorded three more touchdown strikes to three di� erent wide receivers.

The California Redwoods’ � rst-ever win was a hard-fought one, as they could not shake the Sentinels until a Cory Ross 1-yard touchdown run broke a 7-7 tie with 5:11 left in the third quarter.

The two teams traded touchdowns in the � rst half - California’s coming on a 2-yard pass from Mike McMahon to linebacker/long snapper-turned-tight end Kai Brown in the � rst quarter, and New York’s on a Quinn Gray-to-Chris Barclay 2-yard toss. After Ross’ score, part of the league’s � rst-ever 100-yard rushing game (121 yards), the Redwoods pulled away in the fourth quarter on a 42-yard Parker Douglass � eld goal and a 1-yard scoring run by backup John David Washington. California’s defense clamped down on New York after giving up the Sentinels’ lone score, allowing just 55 yards the rest of the game.

November 4, 2009James M. Shuart Stadium, Hempstead, N.Y. - Las Vegas Locomotives 41, New York Sentinels 10

The Locomotives (2-2) got themselves back into championship game berth contention following a decisive victory against the home-standing Sentinels (0-4).

Las Vegas wasted little time in taking a lead, going up 10-0 after the � rst quarter. New York made it a 24-10 de� cit with 6:57 left in the third quarter, but a 49-yard � eld goal by Graham Gano, a 17-yard touchdown pass from J.P. Losman to running back Josh Scobey and a 75-yard interception-return touchdown by cornerback Trey Young put the game out of reach.

October 30, 2009Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, Florida - Florida Tuskers 27, Las Vegas Locomotives 24

In a game that featured four ties, 51 points and 839 yards of total o� ense, the Tuskers survived to stay undefeated at 4-0 by beating the Locos (1-2) for the second time in 16 days.

Las Vegas had a 14-7 halftime lead thanks to a 60-yard J.P. Losman-to-Tab Perry touchdown pass and a 22-yard DeDe Dorsey scoring run. Florida fought back to tie the game twice in the third quarter, and the Tuskers and Locos went into the fourth quarter tied at 17. Tatum Bell’s 1-yard touchdown run gave Florida the lead again, but just 1:09 later, Losman found tight end John Madsen for a 2-yard touchdown throw and the fourth tie of the game. Matt Bryant’s 40-yard � eld goal with 4:38 to go provided the eventual game-winning points for Florida.

November 14, 2009Spartan Stadium, San Jose, California - Las Vegas Locomotives 16, California Redwoods 10

The Locomotives’ run toward the UFL Championship Game almost was derailed by the Red-woods, but 10 fourth-quarter points put Las Vegas (3-2) back on the right track to top California (2-3) and earn a title shot.

The Redwoods claimed a 10-6 lead late in the third quarter thanks to a 28-yard � eld goal by Parker Douglass. The Locos, however, not only got an 8-yard touchdown pass from J.P. Los-man to wide receiver Andrae Thurman and a 33-yard � eld goal by Graham Gano in the fourth quarter, but the Las Vegas defense forced two turnovers in the game’s � nal period to seal the victory.

November 12, 2009Rentschler Field, Hartford, Connecticut - Florida Tuskers 24, New York Sentinels 6

The Tuskers (5-0) moved one step closer to an undefeated regular season thanks to a second victory against the Sentinels, who were playing a home game in Hartford, Conn.

Florida and New York played a competitive � rst half, as the Tuskers claimed a 10-6 lead at the half. The Tuskers were able to pull away in the second half, as Tatum Bell scored on a 3-yard touchdown run and Brooks Bollinger found wide receiver Paris Warren for a 5-yard score. New York’s o� ense was kept in check in the second half, as the Sentinels didn’t score and gained just 88 yards o� ensively.

The Locos (4-2) got ready for the UFL Championship Game by decisively defeating the Sen-tinels (0-6) at home in the � nal regular-season game of the “Premiere Season.”

Tim Rattay, starting at quarterback for an injured J.P. Losman, threw two touchdown passes as Las Vegas took a 38-0 lead into the fourth quarter. The Locos’ defense forced � ve turnovers and allowed New York to gain just 209 yards of total o� ense.

November 19, 2009At&T Park, San Francisco, California - Florida Tuskers 34, California Redwoods 27

For the second week in a row, the Redwoods attempted to play spoiler. For the second week in a row, however, the Redwoods were victimized by a fourth-quarter comeback. The Tuskers (6-0) completed their undefeated regular season thanks to a pair of fourth-quarter touch-downs.

California took a 24-20 lead just before halftime on a Shane Boyd-to-Nate Lawrie 8-yard touch-down pass. Parker Douglass’ 26-yard � eld goal in the third quarter extended the Redwoods’ advantage to 27-20. Florida tied the game on the � rst play of the fourth quarter, as Brooks Bol-linger found wide receiver Jayson Foster for a 5-yard touchdown. The eventual winning points came on Michael Pittman’s 1-yard touchdown run with 6:00 remaining. The game featured three lead changes and three ties.

UFL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

November 27, 2009Sam Boyd Stadium, Las Vegas, Nevada

Las Vegas Locomotives 20, Florida Tuskers 17 (OT)The Las Vegas Locomotives earned the title of � rst-ever United Football League champions after a thrilling 20-17 overtime decision over the previously unbeaten Florida Tuskers. The title game drew 14,801 fans to Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev.

After the game, Locos players and coaches celebrated as head coach Jim Fassel lifted the Wil-liam Hambrecht Trophy, named for the founder of the UFL.

The two teams played in the UFL’s � rst-ever overtime contest after Florida kicker Matt Bryant hit a 27-yard � eld goal with 2:10 left in regulation to tie the game at 17. In overtime, Las Vegas nickel back Isaiah Trufant intercepted Florida quarterback Brooks Bollinger, setting up Locos kicker Graham Gano’s game-winning 33-yard � eld goal 1:43 into the extra period.

Following three quarters which saw relatively little scoring (Florida led 7-3), the action picked up in the fourth quarter. Just 2:03 in the fourth, Las Vegas running back DeDe Dorsey scored on a 38-yard run to give the Locos their � rst lead of the game at 10-7. Just 2:29 later, Bollinger found wide receiver Frank Murphy for a 10-yard score to put the Tuskers back on top at 14-10.

Dorsey scored his second touchdown of the game, a 1-yard run, with 5:58 left in regulation to make it a 17-14 Las Vegas lead, setting up Bryant’s game-tying � eld goal.
