Milwaukee Bonecrushers Wiki Information
The Milwaukee Bonecrushers
are a team of the Continental Indoor Football League that began play in 2008. They will play their home games at the U.S. Cellular Arena, which the team is calling 'The BoneYard'.
This will be Milwaukee's second attempt at an indoor football franchise, the first since the Milwaukee Mustangs of the Arena Football League folded in 2001.
On October 23, 2007, the team announced that well-known Green Bay Packer Gilbert Brown (known as "The Gravedigger" among fans) had signed a three-year contract to be the team's inaugural head coach. [1]
As of April 8, 2008, Gilbert Brown resigned as head coach. General manager, Chris Kokalis as well as the team's offensive and defensive coordinators have also resigned. "On Monday evening, we made sweeping changes in the front office and brought in a new General Manager, Jordan Kopac, and a new coaching staff led by Michael Tumbleson. We would have liked our head coach, Gilbert Brown, to remain with the organization, but we respect his decision to resign. Many of the players have decided to quit."
On October 15, 2008, a judgment was entered against the Milwaukee Bonecrushers in favor of Challenger Industries in the amount of $29,539.29. Challenger Industries is the company that sold indoor turf to the football team. The matter is still open in Milwaukee County as Challenger is still pursuing personal judgment against John Burns, one of the owners of the Milwaukee Bonecrushers. [2]
On April 6, 2009, head coach Leroy McFadden submitted his resignation. In doing so he said, "Without me, they're done. The players are loyal to me. I believe in my team. My team comes first. But I don't know what's going on with the owners day after day." [3]
