The eight original UFL franchises are set to return in 2025, but the fate of their coaches remains uncertain. All UFL head coaches have become free agents as of June 30 due to the expiration of their one-year contracts. Their work won’t begin until January 1, 2025, as they are considered seasonal employees who are only paid for part of the year and not employed during the off-season.
Since the UFL is a single-entity organization with no team owners, the league is responsible for hiring and firing coaches. This setup allows coaches to leave if they choose, and the UFL may not opt to bring all of them back for the next season. It can be challenging for UFL coaches to transition to the NFL or college football in July without unexpected coaching openings occurring in those leagues.
While some UFL coaches may be open to leaving for an NFL or college coaching position, others may prefer to remain in their current roles unless offered a coordinator job. Coaches like Skip Holtz, Wade Phillips, and Mike Nolan are now available for hire by any NFL team interested in bringing them on board. The UFL’s unique coaching structure allows for flexibility but also presents uncertainties regarding coaching staff continuity.
