In one of the last remaining pieces of news to drop ahead of the league's inaugural training camp, the list of coaching staffs was released by the UFL on social media Wednesday. The report includes all the coaches and the general managers for all eight clubs.
“We have assembled an excellent roster of head coaches, coaching staffs, and player personnel executives to lead our athletes,” Russ Brandon, President and CEO of the UFL said. “We want our players to continue to chase their dreams and provide them every opportunity to unlock their potential both on and off the field. By providing our athletes with high-level experienced professionals in every area of their football experience (coaching, athletic training, performance science, player development), we hope to assist these talented young men in achieving their goals.”
“The depth of knowledge and experience these coaches bring to the table is incredible and speaks to the high caliber of talent the UFL set out to assemble for the 2024 season,” Daryl Johnston, Head of Football Operations, said. “The impact they will have on our players will go beyond X’s and O’s, and we look forward to watching them grow as young men as well as players as they continue to chase their football dreams.”
The league added that additional coaching hires will be announced at a later date. Here is the current list of the coaching staff for the 2024 UFL season.
