    What is AAF football? Teams, coaches, notable players, schedule for Alliance of American Football league

    https://www.cbssports.com/aaf/news/w...otball-league/

    What are the teams?


    The AAF's inaugural eight franchises are as follows:

    • Arizona Hotshots
    • Atlanta Legends
    • Birmingham Iron
    • Memphis Express
    • Orlando Apollos
    • Salt Lake Stallions
    • San Antonio Commanders
    • San Diego Fleet



    Who are some notable coaches and players?


    The AAF used a QB Draft to allow each of the eight teams an opportunity to either protect allocated quarterbacks or pick one from another region, with those quarterbacks first signing directly to the AAF. Before the draft, dozens of other players had already joined the league, with Hines Ward hinting this fall that "big names" remain on the AAF's radar.
    Before any players signed to the league, the AAF also announced head coaches for all eight of its original teams.
    Here's a rundown of some of the most notable names on each team entering 2019:

    Team: Arizona Hotshots
    Coach: Rick Neuheisel
    Players: QB Trevor Knight



    Team: Atlanta Legends
    Coach: Brad Childress
    Players: QB Aaron Murray, QB Matt Simms, WR Stephen Hill

    Team: Birmingham Iron

    Coach: Tim Lewis
    Players: QB Blake Sims, QB Scott Tolzien, RB Trent Richardson, CB JaCorey Shepherd, K Nick Novak


    Team: Memphis Express

    Coach: Mike Singletary
    Players: QB Christian Hackenberg, QB Zach Mettenberger, RB Zac Stacy, WR Chris Givens

    Team: Orlando Apollos

    Coach: Steve Spurrier
    Players: QB Garrett Gilbert, QB Stephen Morris, WR Frankie Hammond, DB Will Hill

    Team: Salt Lake Stallions

    Coach: Dennis Erickson
    Players: QB B.J. Daniels, QB Garrett Grayson, RB Matt Asiata

    Team: San Antonio Commanders

    Coach: Mike Riley
    Players: RB David Cobb, RB Daryl Richardson



    Team: San Diego Fleet

    Coach: Mike Martz
    Players: QB Josh Johnson, RB Bishop Sankey

    When will they start playing?

    The AAF's 10-week, 40-game regular season will begin Saturday, Feb. 9, at 8 p.m. ET from Spectrum Stadium in Florida, where the Orlando Apollos will host the Atlanta Legends; and from The Alamodome in Texas, where the San Antonio Commanders will host the San Diego Fleet.
    CBS is scheduled to broadcast the AAF's Feb. 9 Opening Day, while CBS Sports Network will then carry one AAF game each week throughout the season.

    That's enough reason to support it, I'll check out a couple games at least. I wish they'd bring back "He Hate Me"

    There’s quite a few ex-Steelers sprinkled throughout.

    We watched the 2nd quarter of the Commanders/Fleet game. I think it will fun to watch as the season goes on. It will be interesting to see how the NFL utilizes some of these players as it evolves.

    I've always been a big Spurrier fan. Hard to root against him. Watching the Apollo's game the commentators said he had had back surgery fairly recently. 7 discs repaired I think. Still roaming the sidelines and coaching his ass off. Gotta love that guy's zeal for football. Still, gotta go with Singletary and the Express. See ya in 2 weeks.

    If the league has success I can see them adding 2-4 more teams. Can't see them not having a team somewhere in PA if so.

    Based on when the AAF plays the bulk of their games, this will remain confined to the Southeast and Southwest unless you can find domes.
