Albany/Indiana Firebirds News Release
INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Indiana Firebirds Head Coach Steve DeBerg has announced the addition of Chris Bauer to his staff for the 2004 Arena Football League season. Bauer will serve as the team's Director of College Scouting and will be responsible for recruitment of potential players from across the country.
Bauer most recently served under Firebirds' Assistant Head Coach, Mark Stoute, during 2003 with the Mohegan Wolves and brings with him a wealth of arena football knowledge. While with the Wolves, Bauer was the Director of Player Personnel and Special Teams coach. Prior to that he held the same position with the now-defunct New Haven Ninjas (af2) during the 2002 season.
Bauer began his football career in 1997, serving as an assistant to the AFL Director of Operations, Jerry Trice. Bauer's duties included helping out with transactions, rosters, contracts, and various other league and team issues. Two years later, he moved to Connecticut where he co-developed Arena Scouting and Personnel (ASAP), a league-wide bulletin that recommends future AFL stars to coaches and general managers.
"Having someone like Chris on staff opens up a whole new pool of players which we can sign," said Firebirds Interim General Manager John Kolner. "His ability to find great players, across many different regions, will allow our coaching staff to add more depth to our roster and bring in the best possible talent for the upcoming season"
Bauer is self employed, and has held memberships at the Chicago Mercantile, Chicago Board of Trade, and New York Board of Trade. A 1990 graduate of Bucknell University, Bauer currently resides in Fairfield, CT with his wife, Polly, and their three daughters, Caroline, Elizabeth and Alexandra.
