ORLANDO - Jan. 28, 2015 - The Orlando Predators announced today that Rob Keefe has been reinstated as Head Coach and VP of Football Operations after the Court of Orange County declined to file charges and dismissed its case for a misdemeanor incident involving a domestic violence arrest. Keefe will resume full coaching duties immediately.

In his first season as head coach in 2014, Rob Keefe directed the Orlando Predators to its first division title since 2006. Orlando secured the South Division Championship and came within a game of the ArenaBowl after reaching the American Conference Championship.
