Former
Arena Football League coach, Martino Theus has been promoted within the
Marion Blue Racers Professional Football Organization to Head Coach.
Theus was the Head Coach for the UIFL's Mississippi Hound Dogs last
season. The move is made just days before the Marion Blue Racers are set
to open up camp in Marion, Ohio.
As
a highly touted Offensive Guru, Coach Theus will draw upon his playing
experience to lead the Blue Racer offense into Saginaw, Michigan Friday,
February 8th against the reigning, defending CIFL Champion Saginaw
Sting in the marquee CIFL season opener. Coach Theus is the all-time
leader in receiving yards, catches, and touchdowns for the Rochester
Brigade in the AFL2. Theus' playing career is most noted for his record
breaking season in 2002, accumulating 160 receptions, 1750 yards, and 23
touchdowns.
His
impressive coaching resume began while under the tutelage of legendary
Arena coach Irv Favre, father of Brett Favre, while with the Mississippi
Firedogs. As the defensive backs coach for the AFL2's
Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings, Theus' stout 4th ranked defense led the
Battle Wings to back to back division championships. In 2010, Theus
re-signed to the Arena Football League Battle Wings as the Defensive
Coordinator.
