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.
