The Search Is On
Detroit Fury's Head Coach Mouse Davis will not return.

The Detroit Fury announced that the team will not renew the contract of Head Coach Mouse Davis for the 2003 season. However, Davis will continue to serve the team in an advisory capacity.

" Mouse did an absolutely terrific job in establishing the Fury and delivering a playoff team in our expansion year last season," said Greg Myford, Fury general manager.

" Obviously, we took a step backward this year, and with the 2003 season only six months away, now is the time to make adjustments. We're looking forward to a fresh start at training camp in January, " concluded Myford.

After posting a respectable 7-7 regular season record and qualifying for post-season play, Detroit recently completed its sophomore season with a disappointing 1-13 record.

The Fury will begin their search for Davis' replacement immediately. In addition, Detroit is not renewing the contracts of assistant coaches Rod Humenuik, Malvin Hunter, Tom Menas, and Rich Stubler.

The AFL's 17^th season begins in February of 2003.
