Have to give XFL credit that the hires they have made, have been quality.

Re: The final four XFL Head Coach/GM openings
I would expect that the last four picks for Head Coaches would all have years of coaching experience, especially in St. Louis. As I said in another thread, if I am the XFL, I would not hire Isaac Bruce as head coach, but instead as President of the St. Louis XFL team. As President of St. Louis XFL he could serve as an Ambassador of the team and not worry at all about the playbook. He can go out and promote the team at various events while the coach formulates his game plan. He could also use his role as President to bring other former teammates on board to promote the team. Isaac Bruce can be the splash hire that the St. Louis XFL team instead of the head coach and St. Louis wouldn't have to go with someone with St. Louis or Missouri ties at Head Coach.

Re: The final four XFL Head Coach/GM openings
The XFL 2.0 says that it's not going to be about gimmicks and hiring Isaac Bruce as head coach for St. Louis despite zero coaching experience would be considered a gimmick and that is why my idea of Bruce being Team President is better. If the XFL wants St. Louis to succeed, then the head coach/GM needs to have years of coaching experience and then you can use Bruce to help sell tickets. Zorn, Hamilton, Stoops and Trestman all have years of coaching experience, so I would expect that the St. Louis coach would be the same. This to me is the most interesting coaching hire left, moreso than LA, Houston and New York.MikeMitchell wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2019 1:40 pmI like your Bruce idea.GDAWG wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 11:52 pm I would expect that the last four picks for Head Coaches would all have years of coaching experience, especially in St. Louis.

How about Bruce Matthews for Houston? Coach or President.

I really like the idea of Isaac Bruce as team president and then combine that with an offensive minded head coach with experience. To have Bruce as the face of the franchise and build relationships in the community to generate fan and business support would be a huge success

Re: The final four XFL Head Coach/GM openings
Just a quick thought. The XFL might be waiting to see if the AAF goes under to see which coaches become available; Spurrier, at the very least, would definitely be worth snapping up. Of course, Tampa would be the natural place for him, so who knows if that's still workable.
