The Alliance of American Football may be in financial trouble. If the AAF is in financial trouble it's possible that the league may not survive to season number two.

I don't understand how it's possible to work for 3 years getting a football league off the ground with capital, investors, etc. and have a hard time making your payroll on WEEK 2.

Ebersoll was on Fox Business before week 1 talking about how they had 7 years of funding.

Locally, the Legends are making a colossal mistake by keeping AM11 on the bench. Sims is abysmal.

The coaching in that league is bad. Atlanta hired the Bengals DBs coach and it shows. The offense has no imagination or creativity. Meanwhile, Orlando hired Spurrier and has run train on two defenses in two games.

There should have been a focus to hire more offensive minded head coaches. The average person isn't going to watch minor league football if the score is 12-6 every week.

Atlanta originally hired Brad Childress who was a OC/HC in the NFL but he bailed right as camp started. I think he quit because they tried to force him to use Vick as his OC. Let's be honest Vick barely watched film playing why did they think he could be an OC. The western teams have some pretty good offensive minds like Neuheisel, Erickson and Martz. The teams that are struggling went defense like Atlanta (2nd HC) and Memphis. I know they needed the names to sell the league but the staffs should have been young innovative coaches under the proven guys.

I'm a football fan, but I'm not watching it.
I tuned in for about 10 minutes and thought it was a joke. And I am not an expert by any means.

I agree with you! At this rate the AAF may beat the original XFL for the record for going broke the quickest. I don't think as of right now that the AAF will exist in 2020.

One of the AAF teams,i believe it was Memphis, tried to hire the Oklahoma offensive coordinator for the head coaching job and he turned them down saying the money wasn't good enough AAF head coaches make 500,000 dollars at the most

The AAF may have been saved by Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon who has invested 250 million dollars in new league
