Birmingham Thunderbolts

Head Coach: Gerry DiNardo
Offensive Coordinator: Dave Arslanian
Defensive Coordinator: Curley Hallman and Don Wnek
Stadium: Legion Field, Birmingham, Alabama
Territorial Assignments: Alabama, Auburn, UAB

Key Players

LB James Willis - Seven-year NFL veteran
WR Stepfret Williams - Former third-round pick of Cowboys
QB Casey Weldon - Runner-up for Heisman in '91 and played four seasons with Buccaneers
CB Chris Shelling - Canadian Football League all-star for Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2000
RB James Bostic - Former third-round pick of Rams

The Scoop

The Bolts should have one of the better offenses in the league, but their defense may be suspect. Casey Weldon is one of the better quarterbacks in the league, but fans may soon be hollering for Jay Barker, who led Alabama to the national title in '92.
