The
New Orleans VooDoo signed Head Coach Pat O'Hara to a two-year contract
extension, announced the front office on Thursday afternoon.
"Coach
O'Hara did a great job last year and turned the VooDoo into a
contending team. This was an easy decision for our organization to
make," said Dan Newman, VooDoo co-owner.
In
just one season at the helm, O'Hara guided the VooDoo to just the
franchise's second playoff berth in its history. Counting team and
individual records, O'Hara set over 40 new franchise benchmarks.
In
2012, O'Hara took the VooDoo from a league-worst 3-15 record in 2011 to
the 2012 playoffs. O'Hara -- who came to New Orleans from the Orlando
Predators in 2011 after guiding the team to back-to-back postseason
appearances -- has been to the AFL playoffs for three consecutive
seasons.
"I
love New Orleans and the fans," said O'Hara. "I am very glad that I am
able to continue representing the city as the head coach of the New
Orleans VooDoo. Last season we made strides, but I am ready to take this
franchise to the next level."
