This little blurb in a Rocky Mountain Daily News blog caught my attention. And I quote:
Offensive coordinator Brian Partlow has left the team to accept the head coaching position with the Austin Wranglers. In doing so, Partlow, who signed a five-year contract, leaves one former Stanford University and Denver Broncos alum (Crush president John Elway) to play for another (Wranglers general manager Glyn Milburn).
Congratulations to Partlow, but is this a good move?
Just a few weeks ago, Colby White of The Daily Texan reported the Wranglers could be moving down a notch to af2, citing financial problems the team is facing. The Austin Statesman supports this rumor, which makes sense since the team's lease at Ewing Center is up, and team president Doug MacGregor is a partner with a bunch of af2 teams.
But why would you step down as the successful offensive coordinator of an AFL team to take the reigns of an af2 team? It doesn't add up. Sounds instead like the league may be ready to let Austin find a new home.
If anything happens to the Wranglers franchise though, it won't be until the AFL's owners meet the week of ArenaBowl XXI
