Update: As of minutes ago, Coach Larry Zierlein, most recently seen as the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach in 2009, has been hired on as the Colonials O-line coach.
Just a quick recap of the recent additions to the Hartford roster, mostly on the coaching side of things.
The Colonials have added...
Tim Krumrie as their defensive line coach. Krumrie had an 11-year career with the CIncinnati Bengals and served as a D-line coach with the Chiefs from 2006-2010.
Turk Schonert at QB coach, whom I've posted about previously.
Former pro-bowl wideout Harold Jackson as wide receivers coach.
And most recently, ex-Eagles/Packers/others linebacker James Willis at linebackers coach.
Plenty of happenings all over the team. Perhaps biggest of all was the recent announcement of QB Colt Brennan to the Colonials, announced via various channels over the past few days.
The Colonials join the Cleveland Browns in the category of "teams with quarterbacks named "Colt"."
On a bit of a tangent, I'm find it interesting how much easier it is to find UFL-related news these days. There are many more media markets willing to run stories on the league, and not just in, say, Hartford or Omaha or Las Vegas. Sure, I used my own blog as a source just now, but the story linked up there has a couple of other sources of its own. Searching for any of the names above typically brings up at least four or five hits for entirely separate news outlets. It's a good sign that the UFL is indeed growing, and that this may very well be the year that it all gets turned around.
