Larry Fedora done with the USFL after one season

Former North Carolina football coach Larry Fedora has departed from the United States Football League after coaching in the 2022 inaugural season.

Former North Carolina football coach [autotag]Larry Fedora[/autotag] has announced his exit from the United States Football League after coaching just one season.

Fedora coached the New Orleans Breakers for the USFL, posting a 6-4 record in the league’s inaugural 2022 season. The Breakers finished second in the south conference, clinching a playoff spot in the process.

The team struggled against the 9-1 Birmingham Stallions in the playoffs, losing 31-17. Despite the sour ending, Fedora did have a solid coaching outing, with the Breakers leading all teams in points allowed.

USFL announced in a press release that Fedora’s departure was due to wanting to spend more time with his family and his involvement with the organization until his replacement is found.

Fedora was UNCs coach for seven seasons from 2012 to 2018, posting a 45-43 record in that span. His best team came in 2015 when North Carolina sustained an 11-3 record, finishing 15th in the Associated Press poll.

USFL adds Larry Fedora, Jeff Fisher as head coaches

The USFL has rounded out its coaching roster with Jeff Fisher and Larry Fedora for Michigan and New Orleans, respectively

The USFL coaching roster was filled out on Thursday.

One name is sure to raise eyebrows as the Michigan Panthers hired longtime NFL coach Jeff Fisher.

The New Orleans Breakers hired Larry Fedora, formerly of the University of North Carolina.

Fisher coached the Houston Oilers and  Tennessee Titans for 17 years, going 142-120. He was coach of the Rams for five-plus seasons in St. Louis and Los Angeles, going 31-45-1.

Fedora coached Southern Miss from 2008-11 and had a record of 34-19. He then went to North Carolina from 2012-18. With the Tar Heels, Fedora was 45-43. His record was stronger but he was 5-18 in his last two seasons at Chapel Hill.

Texas Football preseason preview: Baylor Bears

Baylor is coming off a historic 2019 season and will be looking to repeat it this season. Here is a 2020 season preview for the Bears:

Baylor was a surprise team in all of college football last season, finishing with an 11-3 record. The Bears made it to the Big 12 championship game and the Sugar Bowl, before losing both matchups to Oklahoma and Georgia respectively.

From a Longhorn perspective, Baylor dominated Texas from start to finish in their 2019 matchup. Tim Beck’s offense struggle mightily, only scoring 10 points. Seven of them came from a Daniel Young touchdown with 0:01 left on the clock. Sam Ehlinger was held to just 200 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception.

Coming off its historic season, Baylor will be slightly pivoting with a coaching change. Matt Rhule had been the head coach in Waco for three seasons and turned the Bears around from 1-11 and into a participant in a New Year’s Six bowl game.

It could be seen as a transition year for Baylor but if new head coach Dave Aranda has anything to say about it, his team will be back in the thick of the Big 12 championship hunt. A veteran quarterback mixed with a preseason first-team All-Big 12 star on defense gives Baylor hope in 2020.

Here is a 2020 season preview of Texas’ Big 12 foe, Baylor:

Report: Analyst Larry Fedora Leaving Texas For Baylor

Texas Longhorns analyst and former Tar Heel’s head coach Larry Fedora is heading to Waco to run the offense at Baylor.

The Baylor Bears and new head coach Dave Aranda is working to put together his coaching staff. The former Louisiana State defensive coordinator has tabbed Longhorns Analyst Larry Fedora as his new offensive coordinator per Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports.

Fedora joined the Texas Longhorns staff as an analyst after being fired as head coach of North Carolina following the 2018 season. His record at UNC finished at 45-43 and 28-28 in conference play. He was replaced by former Longhorns coach Mack Brown.

Fedora will now take over a Baylor offense that ranked 52nd in total offense. Baylor finished 2nd in the Big 12 after falling to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship game. The Sooners, Bears and Longhorns will likely be the three battling for conference supremacy in 2020.
