It will really depend on the QBs they can get. Poor or average QB play will kill this quickly.
Skip's predictable offense will be stellar.
Not sure any kind of minor league for football will ever make it as an NFL feeder. The game is so violent and every hit they suffer even in “semi-pro” level will squash potential at the next level.
A Holtz team is high energy, fast, speed and space... Here it is straight from the horse's mouth - a stallion even. https://twitter.com/USFLStallions/st...29343990059009
Yeah, so he’s essentially saying he’s going to have a team that plays nothing like he coaches. We’ll see about that. One thing is probably for sure no lead will be safe in the 4th quarter.
This USFL rebirth thing is just weird. All games will be played in Birmingham, AL. That pretty much means 98% empty seats for a majority of the games.
It will be interesting to see how Holtz, Sumlin, and Fedora do knowing that college has been the their highest level of coaching experience. Of course I tend to believe coaching at some P5 schools is a higher tier than USFL coaching.
Holtz wouldn’t even be considered an energy guy at the nursing home.
Every FBS job is better than the USFL. As sportdawg said earlier the only way one of these leagues makes it is if the NFL backs it. The reason the NFL never backs any of these start-ups is because they already have the best minor league program in American sports. It is called the NCAA and it supplies tons of NFL ready talent every year for free. Any new football league in America is already in third place.
Even if we are terrible in Sonny's first year (I think we will be great), Tech will have a team in 2023. Skip could win all his games this year and his league fold before 2023.
Most of these coaches were not even in football this past season. Nobody is leaving a stable job for this. They were all like Skip, jobless. The only thing this league has going for it is if MLB is not played while their season is ongoing, even then the football will be so bad people will not be very interested.
