They may also want to have some PR in place and ticket processing in place when they do. Or it could be like you say they don't have the contracts inked yet and are not going to sign a bad deal- who knows.

Bottomline XFL is much more top heavy than the USFL and they do need to watch cost. I do not see the ownership group or mgt group as being a cost focused one. In entertainment over spending is the norm (Rk, DG) and RBC investments in high value leagues is about high spend high return organizations that have already achieved high value - ie not value creation. Bringing in NFL execs who are used to big NFL budgets doesn't offset that. Of course these inexperienced coaches, despite the name recognition, may be cheap.

Between the USFL finals weeks and XFL start up, it should keep the board busy.
Not all of Redbirds acquisitions are of top flight variety. They're also owners of a division 2 French soccer team as well as the new Staten Island independent league baseball team. So they seem to understand how to make smaller properties work as well
Are they running those teams or they minority owners/bought mgt with acquisition.

Looks like Woodson’s DC may be Cris Dishman. Dishman was at the HBCU Showcase today:



His Twitter bio also lists @xfl2023. He was DC of the NJ Generals of the USFL this year and DBs coach of the NY Guardians in XFL 2020.

Can the USFL allow a coach to leave for the XFL?

Its been rumored for a few months that one of the USFL's coordinators was also going to coach in the XFL. Dishman did a good job for the Generals and XFL needs some experienced coaches (esp alt league). Did not know he was also in XFL 2.0, it makes more sense.

They can't prevent coaches from leaving.

At some point I think someone challenges rather they can really prevent players from leaving.

Another inexperienced head coach is bringing on an experienced assistant coach. The relationship between these two goes at least as far back as college when they were teammates at Purdue. Then they both played in the old AFC Central for almost a decade. Needless to say these two have a history.

If Dishman hadn't already been in the USFL, I wonder if he would have received head coach consideration. Certainly a candidate for 2024, I would think.

Agreed. He definitely has the resume and name that it appears the XFL is looking for.

That is an issue I have with Anthony Becht's hiring. None of his assistants have any experience whatsoever and it could be a Kirby Wilson thing where he's in over his head every week.
