5 Possible Head Coach Candidates for the New Orleans Breakers

Larry Fedora, Head Coach of the New Orleans Breakers this past season, announced that he is stepping down from his position effective immediately. He informed league officials last week of his decision.

Fedora was quoted in saying “The USFL is a great professional league, and it was an awesome experience to be part of the history-making inaugural season” .

With talented players and coaches who are getting a well-deserved opportunity to showcase their abilities, we proved the USFL is here to stay. I’m proud that we coached the Breakers to the 2022 playoffs and that we started something special for New Orleans fans”

If the Breakers want to keep what Fedora had in place and hire from within then Mazzone may be a very viable option.

Mazzone was the lead signal caller for the Breakers. Under Mazzone, the Breakers were a top 3 offense in the league and one of the most balanced as well. Mazzone has no prior Head Coaching experience so if hired it may be a learning curve.

4. Mike Neu, Ball State Head Coach

Mike Neu is currently the Head Coach of Ball State, which is his alma mater, so it may take a lot of convincing to get him to leave. It has been a struggle for Neu to consistently win at Ball State but then again it is Ball State after all.

Recently, Neu has coached Ball State to two bowl games, winning one in 2020 as well as winning the MAC Championship. Many may recognize or remember Neu from his days coaching the New Orleans VooDoo in the Arena Football League from 2004-2008, winning AFL COTY honors in his first season with the VooDoo.

He has also had assistant coaching jobs, which were very brief, with Tulane and the Saints. I think Neu…
