UFL's Jerry Glanville: The Country Will Tune in with 6-8 UFL Teams

Hartford Colonials’ head coach Jerry Glanville took to Twitter for roughly an hour this morning, answering questions from all fans about anything football-related. That included his thoughts on the United Football League’s next step towards success.

“The UFL success is dependent on six and then eight teams. If we [get] there soon, then TV will cover,” he told fans.

Glanville may be right in this case; with more teams and more games, the country is more likely to tune into the United Football League. Of course, this is easier said than done.

“People believe cash is king and some are sitting on it now,” Glanville continued. “The economy is rough, but the UFL is working on it.”

It goes without saying that many fans were disappointed that there was no announcement of a sixth team this past February at the Las Vegas press conference. It sounds as if investors are hesitant to put money into the UFL with the economy being in such a rough shape.

Unfortunately, there’s not much the UFL or Glanville can do to suddenly fix the country’s economy.

What Glanville has done, however, is put together a coaching staff that he continues to rave about. He has a staff that he referred to as “teachers” rather than just coaches.

“We challenge any NFL team to match our staff. We got ‘em!”

“37 years of NFL coaching experience on just my first three coaches announced.”

Glanville now has the task of taking on a team that only won three games last year but showed plenty of promise. The league made a good step forward bringing him—as well as Marty Schottenheimer—in this year as head coaches.

The next step seems to be adding more teams to draw the country to tune in.
