The UFL is entering a new era under owner Mike Repole, and the changes are coming fast. In this week’s episode of UFL Week In Review, Mark Perry sits down with UFL writer Greg Parks to unpack what Repole’s leadership means for the league’s future.
What We Cover
Repole has brought a new level of transparency and hands-on involvement to UFL operations. But is that enough to stabilize a league that’s struggled with clear decision-making for years? Mark and Greg dig into the opportunities and risks ahead.
The conversation also tackles the 2026 head coaching hires. Anthony Beck earns the top spot in Greg’s rankings thanks to sustained success, while the hiring of Rick Neuheisel in Dallas following Bob Stoops’ departure raises questions about the Renegades’ direction. New names like Kevin Sumlin, Chris Redman, and AJ McCarron join the coaching ranks with limited experience but strong market connections.
Quarterback movement gets a deep dive too. Luis Perez, Austin Reed, and Brandon Silvers are all in new situations, and Greg breaks down the reasoning behind each move.
Finally, the NFL’s proposed flag football league looms as a potential threat. Could it pull attention and resources away from the UFL just as Repole tries to build momentum?
