Over the past several weeks we at Major League Football MLFB have proudly announced the coaching staffs for three of our four teams – the Ohio Force, the Virginia Armada, and the Arkansas Attack. While the coaches for these teams are individuals with their own personal and professional experience, each shares a passion for the game and for helping every player reach his professional potential. Today, we are equally pleased to announce the coaching staff of our fourth and final team for the MLFB’s inaugural season starting August 9.
With hundreds of years of coaching experience, the Alabama Airborne staff is eager to get to training camp and start the process of building a team that plays exciting football. Airborne players will benefit from some of the finest football minds ever assembled and Airborne fans will find these coaches will do everything in their power to construct a team that is fun to root for.
