Uncertainty Faces UFL 2025 Season As Head Coaching Contracts Expire

UFL coaching contracts for the 2024 season expired on Sunday, June 30. That includes all eight league head coaches, who fall under the UFL’s new seasonal employee category. As a result, all team coaches are off the clock and don’t technically punch back into work until January 1, 2025.

The ultimate catch, however, is whether or not many of these coaches will want to punch back in.

On top of that, if a head coach doesn’t return, it could greatly affect assistants who are on standby. The entire makeup of a UFL team’s coaching staff can change if the lead domino falls.

Many of the UFL’s head coaches, such as Birmingham’s Skip Holtz and Michigan’s Mike Nolan, have openly talked about how much they love their jobs in the league. But better opportunities could emerge for a coach like Holtz, who has gone above and beyond the call leading the Stallions to three straight league championships.
