The XFL will announce the New York team head Coach/General Manager and Team President on Tuesday, April 16th.
- When: Tuesday April 16 at 12:00 PM ET
- Where: Castell Rooftop at the AC Hotel Times Square
Of the eight XFL teams, the first four Head Coaches were announced in February and early March: Bob Stoops (Dallas) on 7 February, Pep Hamilton (Washington) on 21 February, Jim Zorn (Seattle) on 25 February, and Marc Trestman (Tampa Bay) on 5 March. Afterward, there has been a long pause before any new Head Coaches have been announced, which has left XFL followers to wait patiently for news. On 16 April, they will have the type of news they were waiting for.
Prior to the past Head Coach announcements, there were strong rumors indicating the candidate. So far, there are no strong rumors as to who the candidate may be.
The XFL has also previously announced Team Presidents: Heather Brooks Karatz (Los Angeles) on 21 March, Ryan Gustafson (Seattle) on 26 March, and Erik A. Moses (Washington) on 29 March. Next Tuesday’s announcement will mark the occasion of the fourth team President to join the XFL organization.
I think it would be beneficial to the xfl to get the coaching positions filled quickly. St Louis for instance could use it to start marketing the team. Getting the fans engaged in the team is important, so this would go a long way to get these cities excited about the prospects of the league.
