The UFL is not messing around, flexing its corporate muscle to relocate two franchises and shuffle three head coaches. But the real head-scratcher? The Dallas Renegades’ entire roster is heading to Colorado, pulling a “Browns-Ravens” move even though the team name still exists in Dallas. This isn’t just a simple shuffle; it’s a wild twist nobody saw coming for the league.
UFL Teams Get New Addresses and Head Coaches
This league operates like a chess master, moving pieces across the board with total flexibility. They’ve just moved two franchises: the Birmingham squad is packing up for Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and the Houston team is making the trek to Colorado. These moves triggered a coach carousel for three different guys. Last year’s Birmingham Stallions head coach, local Alabama legend A.J. McCarron, is now Pawtucket-bound, and he’s bringing the entire Birmingham roster with him. Rick Neuheisel, who was coaching the Dallas Renegades, is transferring to the Colorado branch, heading back to the area where his coaching career first really took off. That’s a nice homecoming for him.
The Dallas Renegades: A Team Without Its Roster
So, what about the Dallas Renegades? Even though Neuheisel left, the Dallas team itself will keep going. Former Houston Gamblers coach Kevin Sumlin is stepping in to take over the Dallas squad. Here’s where it gets wild: the Renegades’ entire roster is moving to Colorado with Neuheisel! Think about that for a second. The Houston franchise got dumped for a Colorado team, right? But it’s actually the Dallas Renegades making the “Browns-Ravens transmogrification” because their roster is moving, not their name. It’s a complete flip of what you’d expect, leaving Dallas with a new coach and, presumably, a whole new crew of players.
