Pete Taylor to Lead Inferno in its Inaugural Season

– Indoor football is coming to Miami. The newest team to join the Ultimate Indoor Football League will be the Miami Inferno. Pete Taylor has signed a contract to lead the Inferno in its inaugural season. Arena football veteran Luther Johnson will be joining the coaching staff as defensive coordinator.

The BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Florida will be home to South Florida’s new indoor football team. The new team will be called the Miami Inferno and will play all of its home games in the BankUnited Center at the University of Miami.

Taylor has been around football for many years where he has helped lead teams at many different levels of football starting with the youth leagues and now looks forward to leading a group of professional athletes. Head Coach Pete Taylor said, “I am excited at the opportunity to bring indoor football to the Miami area.

Joining Coach Taylor on the sidelines will be former Arena Football League player Luther Johnson IV. Johnson will be the Defensive Coordinator for the Inferno and will have the task of trying to slow down the high octane offenses that the Inferno will have to face. “I feel Coach Johnson will be able to guide the defense and teach the players the ins and outs of indoor football. He will be able pass on the knowledge he has gained from his time playing the game,” said Coach Taylor.

So where do I sue?
This is the original "NITRO" from a different posting board.
Usually I'm a nice guy but when they try to steal my pen name
that's going to far.
Either they change their name or I wish the evil on them to
fold and not finish the season.

They'll probably fold even without you wishing evil on them.

Nobody, I'm going to let them explode into oblivion.
It is nice to know Austin loves me enough to name their team after me. :lol:
