Minnesota legend Rickey Foggie resigned as head coach of the Arena Football League's Minnesota Myth Friday,, which Foggie has confirmed by retweeting the outlet's report.
The AFL had been dormant since 2019, but the league made a comeback this spring and Minnesota was awarded a team, which led to former Minnesota Fighting Pike and Gophers quarterback Rickey Foggie to being named the head coach. The 2024 season began last week as the Myth picked up a dominating win over the Philadephia Soul at the Target Center in Minneapolis. There have since been a handful of decisions that are putting the league's future in question.the team had no other option than to discontinue operations immediately. The team's owners questioned the league's financial practices, calling for Minneapolis attorney and AFL commissioner Lee Hutton to resign.
“Lee Hutton and his team have destroyed not only the revival of the AFL, but they have destroyed the hopes of players all over the U.S.,” the owners said in a May 2 statement announcing the liquidation of the team.a user on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, who wrote: "I can't wait to see get what's coming to him for orchestrating this mess that hurt so many players, coaches, and staff members who worked tirelessly for nothing.
Overall, there has been no official reason given on Foggie's decision to resign as head coach, but the confluence of issues around the league is certainly something to continue to monitor.
