Can a single-company league pivot this fast? With eight offices nationwide, the UFL can shift pieces on its board like a grandmaster.
Two franchises—one leaving Birmingham, the other Houston—have landed in Rhode Island and Colorado, triggering a three‑coach carousel.
Alabama star A.J. McCarron, who guided the Birmingham Stallions last season, now heads to Pawtucket, taking his roster along for the ride.
Rick Neuheisel, former Dallas Renegades leader, heads to the Colorado hub, returning to the region where his coaching roots first took hold.
Kevin Sumlin, once at the Houston Gamblers, steps in as Dallas Renegades’ new head coach. In my view, his offensive mind could revitalize the squad.
The Renegades’ roster follows Neuheisel to Colorado, meaning the Houston market disappears while the former Gamblers become the rebranded Renegades.
Thus, Birmingham shifts to Rhode Island, Houston to Dallas, Dallas to Colorado—and the cycle repeats. Will the next shuffle reshape the league’s map?
