Synopsis:
(from The
CFL in America) |
| The Barracudas were coached by Jack
Pardee, who had coached in the WFL, NFL, USFL and University of Houston
before joining the Barracudas. They were led by veteran CFL quarterback
Matt Dunigan and made the playoffs in their one and only year of operation.
Attendance for games was decent in the early going, but once the college
football season started, it dropped drastically. |
| Their owner, Art Williams, complained
near the end of the season that he had probably lost between 4 to 6 million
on the team. Others estimated his losses at closer to $10 million. |
