From the CB Express website:
The Council Bluffs Express has made a coaching change. Dave Brumagen is now the Head Coach. Chuck Wright has been signed to a contract, and will be back under center for The Express THIS WEEK!! Come out to the MAC Sunday to watch him and the Express take on the Mid Missouri Outlaws, 4:05pm kickoff!!

I honestly had the overs.
But if it's best for the team who are we to say otherwise?

I think we all can agree Chuck Wright is a much better quarterback than Ronnie Jackson ;D

www.southwestiowanews.com/council_bluffs/sports/wright-to-suit-up-for-rest-of-season-for-express/article_b1c0431e-a030-11e1-b0b6-0019bb2963f4.htmlWright to suit up for rest of season for Express by Tony Boone, tony.boone@nonparielonline.com Chuck Wright claims this was never in the plans. However, anyone familiar with the quarterback that led the former Iowa Blackhawks to two American Professional Football League championships may have seen this coming. After five games as the head coach of the Council Bluffs Express, Wright is putting the pads back on this Sunday afternoon. He’ll be the backup to starter Silas Fluellen when his 4-1 team plays host to Mid-Missouri (4-2) at 4:05. The move became necessary when Chad Schmigel, the starting quarterback for Council Bluffs for the first four games of the season, had to leave the team for personal reasons. Wright said suiting up made more sense than bringing in an outsider in midseason. “The big thing was I didn’t want to create any kind of controversy,” he said. “I just wanted to help the team out any way that I could. I thought I could still use my coaching skills in that realm. And, if needed, I can throw it around a little bit.” Wright said he will still have some input on the offensive play-calling. Assistant Dave Brumagen has been promoted to head coach for the remainder of the season. Council Bluffs co-owner Brad Lindgren approached Wright with the idea, the quarterback said. But Wright said the decision to ultimately play again was left up to him. “It was never something that I thought was going to take place. They brought it to me,” he said. “As long as we’re winning at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.” There is a catch, however. Wright’s former No. 7 now belongs to Fluellen, who led the Express to a road win last week. The former Wayne State star asked Wright if he wanted it back this week. Wright declined and has requested to wear No. 15 instead. Even in a different jersey, he expects to be a factor. “I’ll be geared up on Sunday, ready to go if needed,” Wright said. “If I’m needed out there, or if we need a change of pace, I’ll step out there and rally the troops.”

The signing makes sense. Familiar face, familiar offense, i understand the move and as long as Fluellen can win play him, but if you fall behind two td's and go with #15 and win or lose, #7 backs up the rest of the year.

I heard there were fireworks at the Mac tonight and it wasn't the lightning. Be anxious to see if they have enough players left for Saturday.

It's quite the contrary. There is no bashing, only stating some of the obvious and what sources are telling me. And why are they telling me? Because it's not the team it used to be, no respect, no leadership, no consistency. Take it for what it is, but a team that lacks those things can turn amongst themselves.
Yes, Jake Hiffernan, Coach Wolff, and his crew built a great team over the years, a great organization. We feel fortunate to have been associated with them through two championships and countless years with many many players, most whom we have hosted in our our home.
We've seen a lot of things change this year, but they are changes that someone else made. I don't have to agree with them, I can expound on them, and I can have an opinion of them, this is a message board. Grow some thicker skin and finish what you started (the season) and learn from your mistakes. You can't go into battle with 18 chiefs and 2 Indians.

That is completely not true! The practice last night wasn't mandatory for players to even be at. Talk to your soure after tonight and see what they say. Also those players you have so much respect for from the Blackhawks probably don't appreciate you bashing their team this year all the time!(like maybe Chuck, Rush, Kirvin?) You can't keep saying you respect them and alway bash something they love!

Once again, not bashing the team. I know there are players that are unhappy, name an indoorfootball team that doesn't have that. It takes a lot to get people to work together and you'll see that with any team, that's a struggle. But then you defer to those that are the best at that job, and those are your leaders. This team has been through a lot of changes lately, and it's hard to build momentum when you're constantly changing.
