"I'm honored to be chosen as the first Head Coach for the Revolution", stated Billy Back. "From the moment the team made contact with me I knew that this was going to be a great organization to work with. I immediately started building what I believe is a championship team, and I am very excited to start working towards my fourth straight championship!"
In addition, Coach Back announced today that he hired a Defensive Coordinator for the team, Brian Wells, who served as the Assistant Head Coach in Cincinnati under Back. The team will be adding a few more local coaches to handle specific positions on the team. Under Back, the Commandos boasted the league's number one defense each season.
