With the 2026 season drawing closer and closer, the openings for Head Coaches around the major leagues have begun to fill up quickly. Most recently we have seen Shreveport, and Tucson announce their Head Coaches. Previously Pueblo, Iowa, San Antonio, and New Mexico had announced their coaches. While there are not many openings still left, Wheeling, Eau Claire, and Massachusetts have not announced new head coaches as of yet.
In this article we will take a look at some of the assistant coaches and coordinators in the NAL, TAL, and AF1 who deserve consideration as a Head Coach in 2026. We will also add in a few coaches that were previously missed in our articles. Our apologies to any coaches feeling slighted out there, it was a simple oversight, not a purposeful action. We also will discuss the two coaches hired since last installment. Let’s start with the coaches hired:

Tucson Sugar Skulls Promote Rayshaun Kizer
Two more positions filled, and two assistant coaches received promotions following the 2025 season. Rayshaun Kizer spent the 2024, and 2025 seasons as the Defensive Coordinator for the Sugar Skulls, working as the yin to Billy Back’s yang on offense. The Sugar Skulls may not have had the success during this stretch they had hoped for, but that is not because of a lack of talented coaches during this period. Kizer is one of the top Defensive Coordinators in any league which is why he found his way into a Head Coaching role so early in his coaching career.
It is also part of the reason he has accumulated a 21-5 record in the regular season as a Head Coach, and won championships in both the IFL, and CIF as both a coordinator, and a Head Coach. Kizer is honestly as good of a hire as Tucson could ask for to replace Billy Back who departed for Tulsa’s Offensive Coordinator position. Granted it was in the CIF, but Kizer’s last season as a Head Coach in 2023 culminated in an undefeated run to a Championship Victory with the Omaha Beef.
He helped build the foundation of a roster that would go undefeated for nearly two and a half seasons before their first loss since Kizer was hired came in 2025. In fact currently, the only two Head Coaches in 30+ seasons of Omaha Beef history with an overall undefeated win-loss record is Rayshaun Kizer, and his former Offensive Coordinator Mike Tatum who took over as Head Coach in 2024 before being let go mid-way through 2025.
Kizer not only is a well respected coach with a pristine track record of winning where ever he runs the show, but he also breeds a sense of continuity. He was with Tucson for two seasons, he knows which players deserve to return, and which players they need to move on from. He can retain the coaching staff around him, or allow them to move on and bring in his own staff. Could we see Mike Tatum, who was recently let go by the Pirates, hired as the Offensive Coordinator?
Louisiana Rouxgaroux Promote in House Coach
The newly rebranded Louisiana Rouxgaroux have hired their next head coach. Michael Blair, previously served as the Quarterback Coach for the “Roux” in 2025. He is a former member of the U.S. Army, who went on to serve as a patrol officer in Bossier County. A long-time semi-professional coach, Blair is a pillar in the community, and his ties to the semi-pro level could help the “Roux” field more local players in 2026 cutting costs, and setting Louisiana up to build on their 2025 season.
Blair is a relative unknown when it comes to coaching indoor football, but he has served in several capacities with other teams and leagues including as an assistant coach, coordinator or even head coach. He was involved in the NLFA, the North Louisiana Football Alliance, a 9-man football league which essentially boils down to 11 man outdoor football minus two offensive linemen. This should make for an easier transition into being the Head Coach of an 8-man indoor football team in 2026.
He has also begun to assemble his staff sticking with a familiar assistant coach in Thomas Williams his Defensive Coordinator. Williams has also been involved in semi-pro football in the area for many years. He has been involved with the 8-Man Indoor Football League that is formed from teams primarily hailing from Louisiana, and Texas. Williams is no stranger to the indoor style of play, but this will be his first real adventure into being a coordinator on a professional football team.
I know many people see the word semi-pro and immediately think that these coaches are under-qualified, however I see it differently. Both coaches have applicable experience, and both are local in a talent rich market. Semi-pro may have a negative connotation in some circles but I believe semi-pro football can be a launching pad for players overlooked by professional teams due to this wealth of players coming out of Louisiana.
Some people hear Semi-Pro and immediately think players who don’t understand how to be professional, in this case I hear Semi-Pro, and I think this staff may be uniquely setup to build a roster in the true spirit of indoor football, by assembling diamonds in the rough looking for another opportunity to continue playing football.
Dallas Bulls Shift Gears, and Hire Rodney Blackshear as Head Coach
Up to this point many of us in the indoor/arena football media realm believed Victor Mann was a lock to be the Head Coach for the Dallas Bulls given his long-standing ties to the organization dating back to their days as the North Texas Bulls. Currently Mann is the Head Coach of the Iowa Woo, where he brought many former Bulls players and coaches with him to assemble the Woo staff and roster. The belief was that Mann would assume this position once again, and vacate the Iowa Woo job.
Instead the Bulls turned to another coach with deep ties to Texas. Born in Houston in July of 1969, the majority of Blackshear’s football career took place in the state of Texas. He attended high school in Houston playing wide receiver before spending his entire collegiate career at Texas Tech. After college his first professional football experience came with the Miami Dolphins in 1992, although he did not make the team out of camp. In 1993 he began what would turn into a decorated arena football career.
Returning to Texas he signed with the Dallas Texans. He stayed with the Texans for just one season before playing two seasons with the Texas Terror, two seasons for the Houston Thunderbears, and one final season two years later in 2001 with the 2001 AFL Champion Grand Rapids Rampage. This move reunited him with his OC with the Dallas Texans from his first season of arena football.
The following season he began coaching as a Graduate Assistant with his alma matter Texas Tech. In 2003 he became the Offensive Coordinator at a local High School before returning to indoor football the following season as the Offensive Coordinator of the Rio Grande Valley Dorados for one season in the AF2. In 2005 he joined the University of Houston as a Wide Receiver Coach where he would spend two seasons. This is when he began a string of Head Coaching positions.
From the 2007 season all the way up to 2012 Blackshear was a Head Coach for various teams including the Lubbock Renegades, South Georgia Wildcats, Abilene Ruff Riders, and finally the Amarillo Venom in 2011. During this 5 season stretch he amassed a 16-17 record with Lubbock, a 11-6 record with South Georgia, 2-12 with Abilene, and finally 4-10 with Amarillo. Cumulatively producing a 43-45 record as a head coach indoors. He was initially named the Head Coach of the Mesquite Bandits for the 2012 season but they folded without playing a game.
Blackshear would end up coaching Defensive Backs for Jersey Village High School in Texas for the 2012 season instead. In 2013 he was out of coaching for one season before being named as the Head Coach for Texas College. During this season the team would go 0-11 and Blackshear was again looking for another coaching position. In 2015 he would spend the season as a Head Coach of the Trinity Christian High School.
Since the 2015 season Blackshear has never strayed far from being involved in sports holding many positions within the school system over the past decade. He also launched his own Real Estate company this past year, allowing him more control over his time allowing him to get back into coaching professionally. While his record may not speak volumes about his success in the past, his ties to Texas should be an asset to the Bulls who will likely be looking to utilize as much local talent as possible to save on housing costs.
Let’s not forget, this is Texas where high-level football is played all over the state. His recruiting base inside Texas alone should be vast, however he better move quick. The state of Texas has competition in almost every professional football league in the area. From the UFL: Houston, San Antonio, and Arlington, to the IFL San Antonio, to the AF1 in Beaumont, to the COFL with Texas Syndicate, and even in their own league with Amarillo.
Alright let’s get into the up and coming coordinators from leagues like the AF1, NAL, TAL and more, as well as a few extra credit free agents tossed in for good measure. Just a friendly reminder these names are in no particular order, simply listed as suggestions and thoughts came in, this is in no way a ranking of these men and women and their coaching ability, or experience.
Brandon Sesay, Defensive Coordinator, Albany Firebirds
Brandon Sesay has been involved with arena football for over 15 seasons now. Going undrafted in 2010, he did not begin his arena football career until 2011, when he signed with the Iowa Barnstormers. Outside of a one-year stint with the West Texas Roughnecks of the IFL, Sesay played in the AFL and NAL, both of which used variations of arena rules.
Playing his final four seasons with the Albany Empire, he became an irreplaceable part of arena football in Albany. After four years of playing for the Empire, he opted to retire and transition into coaching, having played 11 seasons over 13 years. Sesay joined the Firebirds staff for the 2024 season.
Initially hired as an assistant to former teammate Dwayne Hollis, who had also retired and jumped into coaching as the Defensive Coordinator. Sesay would also coach Special Teams, things changed heading into 2025. Dwayne Hollis came out of retirement and reunited with former Albany wide receiver Darius Prince with the Corpus Christi Tritons. This left Sesay one of the few assistant coaches left, and a very natural fit to take over in his absence.
He took over, helping lead his team to an undefeated record and a Championship victory in the first season of the AF1. Sesay’s unit led the AF1 in points allowed with 276 points in 10 games. To properly put this into perspective, second place allowed 386 points in 10 games. The last-place team allowed 701 points in 12 games. The Firebirds allowed an average of 28 points per game, a full 11 points per game lower than second place, and 30 points less than last place.
They say defense wins championships, and Sesay’s unit proved that adage accurate once again in 2025, securing a championship victory. His third was as a member of Albany. Including 1 in the AFL, 1 in the NAL, and now 1 in the AF1. All in a seven-season stretch.
Marlon Lobban, Defensive Coordinator, Sioux City Bandits
Marlon Lobban is a former linebacker who once played for the Sioux City Bandits, earning a Defensive Player of the Year award in 2016. Part of what made Lobban so successful was the mental aspect of his game, and his coaches recognized it in him before he did.
In an article for SiouxlandProud.com, Lobban was quoted as saying: “Talked to Coach Zevenbergen and he’s like ‘you’re ready man’. And I’m like ‘ready for what?’ He said, ‘You’re ready to be the coach. ’ And I said ‘Yeah, I’ll coach special teams or positions. ‘No, you’re ready to be the defensive coordinator. ’”
Following the 2017 season, his last as a player, that’s exactly what Lobban would do, jump right into coaching skipping assistant coaching roles, and straight to being a Defensive Coordinator, a position he has now held for 7 seasons as one of the longest tenured assistants on any single team. His relationship with Head Coach Erv Strohbeen is part of why he has been around so long; they complement each other well, and they understand how the other works.
Strohbeen, when asked about his success, is quick to credit his staff, and specifically Lobban, a man he is not shy about saying he hopes one day takes over for him as the Head Coach of the Bandits. Lobban is not only an experienced shot caller on defense, but he is also an accomplished recruiter with a history of helping find local players.
Honestly, if the team had the funds, I would have loved to see the Iowa Power, due to their proximity, give Lobban a call as their Head Coach. This would provide a very unique scenario in which he was the DC of the Bandits during the spring, and the HC of the Power in the fall. It would also allow him to spend even more time with his core group of local players, further developing them in his system in the NAL offseason. This could even open the door for further partnerships between leagues like the UIFA and the NAL.
Adam Loftis, Defensive Coordinator, Omaha Beef
Adam Loftis is a fairly new face to indoor football, but he is not new to coaching. He has been serving as an assistant coach and helping with strength and conditioning at the high school level back in 2009 in Nebraska, where he would spend 2 seasons. He later volunteered for the Beef in March of 2011, where he would serve as an assistant coach overseeing defensive backs, as well as helpng with Strength and Conditioning and film breakdown.
During this two-season stretch, he continued coaching high school football locally. A lot of his experience early in his career was related to strength and conditioning, spending time working for private programs, minor leagues, or high schools and colleges. This included stints with the University of Nebraska, University of Alabama Birmingham, Iowa Western, and the Omaha Lancers Hockey team before returning to the Beef for 2019, the first year under Ricky Bertz.
Over the past 6 seasons with the Beef, Loftis has helped lead the team to the playoffs every season, 5 of those seasons ended with a championship berth, 3 of which ended with a win. Overall, he has made the playoffs 8 times in 9 seasons with the Beef.
Cumulatively, Omaha has a 72-27 record, including a full two-season plus undefeated stretch with Loftis on board. It is honestly surprising he has not been given more attention for his role in the team’s success. Something tells me that in the near future, he will be a hot commodity.
C.J. Cain, Offensive Coordinator, Omaha Beef
C.J. Cain retired following the 2025 season after a solid playing career as an Offensive Lineman in the AAL and later the NAL. While some may question how Cj went from starting center of the Wheeling Miners in 2025, to Offensive Coordinator for the Beef in 2026, let me just stop you right there.
Yes, Cj’s relationship with Coach Negron proved to be pivotal in his move to the Omaha Beef, but those who know Cj know he was always going to end up coaching indoor football. His coaching career began in 2017 at the High School level, where he served as an Assistant Coach overseeing his own position; offensive Line for three schools from 2017 to 2019. After COVID shut the world down in 2020, Coach Cain moved up to the collegiate level.
Serving as a Graduate Assistant and Offensive Line Coach for Quincy University in 2021. In 2022, he found a more permanent position with Barton College, where he would coach for three seasons, while playing arena ball in the spring. Playing under Coach Negron in 2023 and 2024 with the Carolina Cobras, they built a bond that would not be broken and made for an all-too-natural progression from player to Offensive Coordinator and Offensive Line Coach.
CJ is a guy who I expect to move up the ranks fast. Coach Cain is one of those guys who gains respect simply for the way he carries himself. Players and coaches alike will love coaching with or against C.J. in Omaha. While this may be the beginning of his indoor football coaching career, he is already heading into his eighth season coaching.
Along the way, he has played for Josh Resignalo, James Fuller, Brandon Negron, and other highly respected Head Coaches. Coaching trees matter, especially with teams always looking to find the next great young coach. It will not shock me if by year ten we are back here on ShadySportsNetwork.com writing about how C.J. Cain was hired as a Head Coach somewhere.
Mott Gaymon, Defensive Coordinator, Wheeling Miners
The Miners found themselves in a unique position when they were able to hire Coach Gaymon. Gaymon was the Defensive Coordinator/Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Backs Coach at Wheeling University before joining the Miners in the same capacity.
He was already in his fifth season in his position with Wheeling University before he ever agreed to join the Miners. Gaymon is a former Indoor Football player himself, having played with the Baltimore Mariners in the American Indoor Football Association.
He has had many years of coaching experience, whether as an assistant, a coordinator or even as a Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator/Special Teams Coordinator overseas with the Wroclaw Giants.
With stops all over the country, including Lake Erie College, Lindsey Wilson College, and Mansfield University. Teams could do a lot worse than hiring Gaymon, and if I am being honest, it would not surprise me in the slightest if he is the replacement for Resignalo in 2026.
Brandon Thomas, OL/DL Coach, Co-DC Columbus Lions
Brandon Thomas has built something of a legacy playing, coaching, and teaching in Georgia since 2012. After 5 seasons as an Offensive Lineman, 2 that ended with a ring, he opted to retire. Transitioning full-time from what had previously been his supplemental income to his football career, teaching and coaching high school football.
Instead of suiting up to step on the field during the spring, he instead put on a headset and stepped into an assistant coaching role with the Lions in 2017. Sticking with the Lions for 8 seasons already, he has held a variety of roles, including Offensive and Defensive line coach, Assistant Recruiter/Player Personnel, and Assistant Player Development. He recently added Co-Defensive Coordinator.
During his time coaching high school, he has actually spent most of his time coaching offense; overseeing offensive line, tight ends/h-backs, and running backs at times. He has also served as an Assistant Special Teams Coordinator, assisted with Strength and Conditioning, and as Player Personnel. This is a coach who is uniquely prepared to step into a head coaching role.
Having coached the majority of position groups, special teams, and now assisting in crafting the defense, he has seen nearly every facet of coaching a roster you can see. His experience with recruiting, Player Personnel, and Strength and Conditioning is all valuable experience to take into a Head Coaching role as well.
He essentially has seen firsthand exactly what it takes to be a successful Head Coach, and has now experienced everything himself. Heading into his 9th season as a professional coach and 11th as a youth coach, Thomas is likely ready and just awaiting the right opportunity, although with his ties to Georgia, he may have to decide if moving up is worth it for him to move to a new state.
Anthony Payton, Nashville Kats Offensive Coordinator
Anthony Payton orchestrated one of the most efficient offenses in all of arena or indoor football last season, utilizing a quarterback who had never played indoor football before, who joined the team midseason. A former player himself, he played in the AFL, AF2, and IFL for nine seasons before beginning his coaching career.
His coaching career has followed a similar path, weaving in and out of the IFL, AFL/AF1, AF2, or even the NAL. One place he found a lot of success and seemed to keep going back to was the Massachusetts Pirates. In what must be an interesting situation, Payton was the O.C. in 2018, elevated to Head Coach in 2019, and then the team moved to the IFL.
When they moved, Payton moved on this time as the Offensive Coordinator of the Louisville Xtreme for the 2021 season. Unfortunately, they folded before the end of the season, leaving Payton looking for his next team. He returned to Massachusetts in 2023, teaming with indoor football rookie Anthony Russo, who lit it up under Payton’s guidance as QB Coach and Offensive Coordinator.
He held the same title in 2024 with Massachusetts, this time working with Connor Degenhart, hoping he could capture lightning in a bottle with another indoor football rookie. This experiment did not yield the same results as he found in 2023. Heading into 2025, Payton joined Nashville with Arbet.
Payton never truly got a shot to be a Head Coach in a place that would allow him time to learn and grow from his mistakes. Given a chance to build a staff and a roster on his own, I believe Payton could be a great head coach. If I were an AF1 team starting from scratch, he would be one of my first calls.
Kerry Locklin, Nashville Kats Offensive/Defensive Line Coach
After a five-year playing career in the NFL and USFL, Kerry Locklin moved into coaching football. Coming from a football family, Locklin was always destined to spend his life in the sport he loves. Coach Locklin grew up watching his father play for a decade in the CFL as a defensive end.
Beginning in 1988, Locklin coached college football, serving as an assistant coach overseeing running backs for five seasons and serving as a graduate assistant with Utah before his first taste of coaching alternative football leagues. In 1994, he joined the Shreveport Pirates, an American expansion franchise playing in the CFL.
From 1995 to 2008, he coached Defensive Line, which became his bread and butter. Ironically, he coached the position group that his father once played. This led to his first NFL coaching job with the New York Jets in 2009. This staff was packed full of future or former Head Coaches: Bill Callahan, Brian Schottenheimer, John DeFilippo (USFL 23-24), Anthony Lynn, Mike Pettine, Locklin (CIF 2023, NAL 2024), Bob Sutton, Doug Plank (AFL).
In 2010, Locklin joined the UFL’s Florida Tuskers. He would work with Jay Gruden, Chuck Bresnahan, and many other highly respected coaches. During the 2011 and 2012 seasons, Locklin stayed in California. First, he coached the Defensive Line with Fresno City College, then in 2012 he coached with the San Jose Sabercats under Darren Arbet and Cedric Walker, both of whom are currently Head Coaches in the AF1. After the AFL season ended, Locklin joined the Sacramento Mountain Lions again with the UFL.
From there, he would coach the defensive line with his Alma Mater for 3 seasons before joining the Toronto Argonauts for 3 seasons. He would move on to the Spokane Shock, where he reunited with Cedric Walker, once again serving as his defensive line coach. Spokane would fold heading into 2022, and Walker would end up hired by the Wyoming Mustangs, bringing Locklin with him as his Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Line Coach.
This arrangement was short-lived as Locklin was hired to coach the Billings Outlaws in 2023. He was, however, fired after just a handful of games, and another man on this list, Shon King, took over as interim head coach. Locklin would end up finishing out the season trying to salvage the Topeka Tropics, ultimately helping coach them to their first win as a franchise. He was named their Head Coach for the 2024 NAL season, but the team would cease operations a month before the season.
Locklin, being a New Mexico native, returned home, joining the Duke City Gladiators as an Assistant Coach. Eventually, the Gladiators fired Fred Griggs, installing Locklin as the interim Head Coach. The Gladiators were 1-10 when Griggs was let go, with 6 games decided by 7 points or less.
Locklin would nearly lead the Gladiators to a win over defending-champion Bay Area Panthers in his first game as the Head Coach. Then, they finished out with a 2-3 record. Following the 2024 season, the Gladiators went dormant and were ultimately sold. This left Locklin looking for his next job, which led him to Nashville in 2025. Rejoining Darren Arbet after initially coaching for him almost a decade ago.
Nashville’s strength last season was its offensive and defensive lines, and typically, at any level of football, when you dominate in the trenches, you will win a lot of games. Nashville came within 3 points of winning a championship against a team that finished the regular season undefeated. It appears that Nashville is loading up for another run at a ring, and it would be a perfect finish to his time in Nashville before getting his next opportunity as a Head Coach in 2027.
Tracey Curtis, Free Agent Coach
Coach Curtis is currently a free agent coach in terms of indoor and arena football. She was announced as the Head Coach of the Dansbury Diesel for the 2025 season, but when the ENTFLA fell apart, she was left without a team. She was not included in our free agent Head Coach list due to the fact that she has not yet been given the chance to be a Head Coach.
Coach Curtis attended the University of Central Florida, where she was a student assistant with the football team, also holding a coaching role and assisting as an equipment manager over her three seasons with the team. Later on, she got connected with USA Football, where she held a trainer role for a decade with the organization.
In 2022, she joined Southern Connecticut State University as a Cornerbacks coach. She has also spent time coaching high school football with Jonathan Law High School, Stratford High School, and Newport News Apprentice School. She even played semi-professional football with the Connecticut Giants, suiting up for three seasons before an injury led her to step away from playing football.
She has extensive experience serving as an assistant coach at many levels and in various positions. She should be a candidate to join an organization in some capacity in the Upper Northeast. Perhaps a role with the Wheeling Miners, or the Albany Firebirds?
Extra Credit:
Martino Theus, Free Agent Coach
Martino Theus has been around the indoor football world for nearly 3 decades now. After a 10-year playing career as a stellar wide receiver, a transition into coaching was a natural one for Martino Theus. He began coaching in 2007 with the AF2.
His Head Coaching experience is extensive, but it has been several years since he was given a chance as a Head Coach. With multiple Head Coaching stints on his resume in leagues like the UIFL, CIFL, and CIF. Later on, he saw stints as a coordinator in LSFL, NAL, and, most recently, the IFL. After the 2025 season, Theus, along with most of the Pirates staff, was let go, paving the way for the next Head Coach to choose his staff.
Theus was seemingly passed over for IFL Head Coach openings so far, and now he is looking at any coordinator openings available. It should come as no surprise if he lands on an IFL coaching staff in the near future, although we have heard so far it’s been fairly quiet for Coach Theus. With experience in the arena, or indoor style ruled and personal relationships in every major league around, something tells us it is only a matter of time.
Shon King, Free Agent Coach
Shon King has inherited two tough situations in his last two opportunities to be a Head Coach. In 2023, he took over for Kerry Locklin when he was fired and finished the season 4-2 and in the playoffs. When Titus opted to shutter the Gillette Mustangs and focus on the Billings Outlaws, he stuck by Cedric Walker, hiring him as the next Head Coach of the Outlaws as they moved into the AFL.
King was then hired by the Rapid City Marshals, who followed to the AFL. Before they could even complete their first season, the Marshals were forced to fold, leaving King again a free agent. He would finish out the season as an Offensive Assistant with the Salina Liberty in 2024. Before this bumpy patch, he also served as the Offensive Coordinator for the Omaha Beef in 2021, winning a CIF Championship.
King is a former wide receiver who began his career in 1999 with the IPFL’s Idaho Stallions, where he caught 90 passes and topped 1,000 yards. In 2000, he would win AF2 Rookie of the Year before being named Arena Cup 1 MVP after a 5-touchdown performance. In the season King had scored a team record 46 touchdowns, he caught 136 passes for 1,858 yards.
He would go on to play for multiple teams in the AFL, AF2, as well as other indoor leagues across the country, including NIFL. Spending time in cities like New York, Tulsa, and Sioux City. Having played and coached in both rulesets, he should be a highly sought-after coach, even if currently it is just as an Offensive Coordinator.
While I believe he would be a great option as a Head Coach for any team, it would be pretty cool to see him hired by Quad City, where he had his monumental season, although their staff is firmly entrenched with the team. His off-the-field job as a substitute teacher allows him to travel more or less wherever he is needed.
