I got this press release before it went out to the wire. I was at work, so I'm posting it now.
Augusta Colts Press Release
Published: November 11, 2008
At a press conference this afternoon, the Augusta Colts announced the signing of their new Head Coach, Cedric Roach of Athens, GA. Coach Roach comes to the Colts from the NAFL Carolina Timberwolves (Chapin, SC) where he served as the Defensive Coordinator & Assistant Head Coach for a team which went 9-1 and held their opponents to an average of 7.5 ppg.
Over the span of fourteen years, Coach Roach has also accumulated an impressive record with the NIFL Charleston Sandsharks, (Defensive Coordinator / Line Coach), the NFA Georgia Patriots (Defensive Coordinator / Line Coach), the NAFL Carolina Storm (Head Coach, Defensive Coordinator / Linebackers & DB Coach), the NAFL Gwinnett County Patriots (Head Coach, Defensive Coordinator / Special Teams), the Arena Football 2 Carolina Rhinos (Defensive Coordinator / Line Coach), and the NAFL Charleston Firecats (Head Coach, Defensive Coordinator). His resume is rounded out by brief stints as a high school coach, a college position coach, and an NFL intern with the San Diego Chargers.
Augusta Colts GM John Sisson stated that the search committee set a strong emphasis on: 1) arena experience; 2) year round player conditioning; 3) game preparation & planning; 4) player scouting, development & advancement; 5) personal character & professionalism and 6) the ability to communicate with the media, the players and with the front office staff. These were all areas which Coach Roach has demonstrated the ability to clearly excel in throughout his coaching career.
Bottom Line: Sisson states that “Coach Roach is simply the right man for this team at this time in her history. Indeed, we look forward to taking the field again in 2010 with a well conditioned and well prepared team that will not give up nor tire out; pursuing the ball and attacking the end zone deep into the 4th quarter when other teams are watching the clock and longing to get back on the bus!”
