UL football will promote Melvin Smith to defensive coordinator, and have decided on two new hires to the defensive staff, this according to our friend Tim Buckley at The Advertiser.
The New Orleans Breakers were a United States Football League franchise that played in the Louisiana Superdome for one season, in 1984. The Breakers began their USFL tenure in Boston, in 1983, but a stadium issue forced a move, allowing New Orleans real estate developer Joe Canizaro to buy the team, and move it to New Orleans for the 1984 season.
