Earlier in the week Jim Fassel appeared on a media conference call for the UFL where he seemed confident about a second year, and beyond, for the venture:

Jim Fassel, coach of the Las Vegas Locomotives, is confident that the UFL will endure after its inaugural season.

“There is room without a doubt for another professional football league,” Fassel said in a conference call Monday. “There is no more NFL Europe or Arena League.”

He was exceedingly optimistic about the four-team league, which has debuted to relative anonymity during one of the busiest times in the sporting calendar. Fassel, though, believes that the UFL is on the right track.

“The league will sell itself,” said the former New York Giants coach, who will return to the metropolitan area Wednesday, when the Locos take on the New York Sentinels at Hofstra’s James M. Shuart Stadium — a game that originally was scheduled to be played at Citi Field.

The UFL will need to do so, considering that it has purposely saved money on promotions and infused that into the on-field product. The league has four head coaches with NFL backgrounds and an experienced general manager, Rick Mueller, who has an NFL pedigree in player personnel.
