The USFL announced the hiring of its first four head coaches, with the spring football league set to begin playing in mid-April. They are former NFL head coaches Todd Haley and Mike Riley, Bart Andrus, a former head coach in NFL Europe and CFL, and former college head coach Kevin Sumlin. Haley, the former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator, will coach the Tampa Bay Bandits, Riley the New Jersey Generals, Andrus the Philadelphia Stars, and Sumlin the Houston Gamblers. The league will have eight teams, with 10-game regular-season schedules from April 16th through mid-June. The USFL was first launched in 1983, but fell apart after three seasons.
