What
Will Be Announced?
The
Birmingham announcement will take place in two days (Aug 1st)
and the big question is: What will the XFL actually announce?
They will tell us about the Birmingham team, and about a coach
(Gerry Dinardo), but will they reveal a nickname, logo
and colors? It's been a long wait for Birmingham fans - they will
soon learn more!

Coaches on the Way
Word
has it XFL Orlando will be announcing their coach next. The rumor
is that most other XFL Head Coaches will be plucked from NFL
Europe, so don't expect too many more announcements like Dick
Butkus. The number one candidate for the Orlando job is Rhein
Fire Head Coach, Galen Hall, formerly of the Orlando Thunder.
Will he get the job? We'll have to wait and see.
We are also still waiting for the New York announcement to take place. When you ask? Answer: We haven't heard, have you?

Butkus
Hiring Creates Hype
The
hiring of Dick Butkus, has created plenty of waves around
the sports world. We have not yet seen this much publicity surrounding
the XFL, and it is surely welcome! XFLBoard would also
like to welcome "the Animal" into the XFL fold. As far
as we're concerned he is a worthy acquisition for the Chicago
XFL team.
