Another new pro football league is starting.
Pete Carroll isn’t the only NFL coach who hopes it succeeds.
The eight-team Alliance of American Football kicks off Saturday with nationally televised games (on CBS) as the latest attempt to fill our nation’s post-Super Bowl void of no football through the spring. The AAF will play a 10-game season. It ends with a championship game in Las Vegas on April 27, the weekend of the NFL draft.
Hall of Fame NFL executive Bill Polian co-founded the new league. AAF coaches include former Seahawks head man Dennis Erickson, former NFL, former University of Florida and South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier and ex-University of Washington coach Rick Nueheisel.
