History
The New Orleans Breakers were one of eight teams that were officially announced as a USFL franchise on The Herd with Colin Cowherd on November 22, 2021.[1]
On January 27, 2022, it was announced on The Herd with Colin Cowherd that former NCAA Head coach Larry Fedora was named the Head coach and General manager of the Breakers.[2] Fedora would go on to lead the Breakers to a 6–4 regular season record, clinching a playoff spot following their Week 9 victory over Tampa Bay Bandits.[3] The Breakers would lose in the divisional championship game to the Birmingham Stallions 17–31.[4] Following the season, Fedora stepped down as the head coach of the Breakers, citing wanting to spend more time with his family.[5]
On November 10, 2022, the Breakers announced that they had named John DeFilippo as their second head coach.[6]
