Last month, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that former Giants coach Jim Fassel would become the first coach hired by the UFL. Fassel tells our pal Todd Wright of Sporting News Radio in an interview to be aired during Thursday night’s show that, while not a done deal, things are moving in that direction. (Todd’s show can be heard right here.) “I have not signed a contract yet, but I anticipate to signing a contract,” Fassel tells Wright. “And I would be excited about it.” Fassel generally believes that the UFL will succeed. “I think it is going to work,” he says. “There are good financial people involved with this and they have a sound plan. There are good football people running it from the league office and I like the concept.” The league has announced that its inaugural season will feature four teams and a six-game season.
