The XFL announced Sunday that one of the eight teams in its rebooted spring football league will be located in Seattle.

The XFL was officially created on February 2, 2000 by former WWE CEO Vince McMahon and then-chairman of NBC Sports Dick Ebersol. The XFL was launched to be a more fun alternative to the NFL, which McMahon christened as the “no fun league.” McMahon maintained control of the XFL brand after the league ceased operations, and on January 25, 2018, he announced the return of the XFL with a target relaunch date of early 2020, but the league was quickly bankrupted during the pandemic.
The Seattle team will be coached by Jim Haslett, who has previously been head coach of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints and interim head coach of the St. Louis Rams . Among other members announced as part of Haslett’s staff are offensive coordinator June Jones and defensive coordinator Ron Zook.
