As the United Football League waits for its chance to capitalize on the NFL lockout, it's stocking up on coaching star power. Jerry Glanville has been officially tabbed to be the head coach and general manager of the Hartford Colonials, and according to Chris Mortensen, Marty Schottenheimer is on the verge of being named the head coach of the Virginia Destroyers. For this new upstart league this might be the first of many crossovers including probably some former players and guys coming out of college.
Honestly, I don't think this league will last because according to past history upstarts leagues similar to this one have not proceeded in their sucess as soon as the NFL was able to step up their marketing. In this instance, the NFL is locked out, and if they continue to be locked out this might mean slightly more money and tv ratings for the UFL.
