Council Bluffs Express Welcomes Head Coach Chuck Wright
Oct. 19, 2011
Council Bluffs, Iowa - The recently formed Council Bluffs Express, formerly Iowa Blackhawks, is pleased to announce the hiring of its first head coach, Chuch Wright.
Wright was born and raised in Florida and brings seven years of indoor football experience to the Express. A former American Professional Football League (APFL) MVP quarterback, Coach Wright brings a wealth of knowledge at the professional level. From 2004 to 2011, Coach Wright helped build and lead the former Iowa Blackhawks of the APFL into back-to-back league championships in 2009 and 2010. In 2009 the Blackhawks, led by Wright, ended the rival Kansas Koyotes' dominating six-year run as champions in a humbling 63-17 championship game win.
Holding numerous team and APFL league passing records, Wright has also spent time with the Omaha Beef of the IFL.
"We are very excited to have Chuck as our coach. Coach Wright brings a wide variety of experience and leadership to our organization," stated Brad Lindgren, team owner. "We are excited to begin a new path with him as our head coach."
The Express will be playing at the Mid-American Center and season tickets will go on sale soon. Watch for more exciting news.
"Minor league pro football is a weird universe filled with bounced checks, unpaid bills, empty promises, out-right lies, empty arenas, endless women, endless booze, occasionally drugs, endless trips on rented buses to towns on the outskirts of the Big Time and, for one night a week, a football game." -- Bill Shea
