History

On October 25, 2010, it was announced that Jay and Dale Morris had been awarded an expansion franchise in the Indoor Football League. [1] On November 4, 2010, the team announced that Steve Perdue would be their inaugural head coach, as well as a name-the-team contest. [2] On November 22, 2010, it was announced that the franchise would be named the Bricktown Brawlers. [3] On December 16, 2010, the Brawlers announced that former University of Oklahoma quarterback Jason White was added as a co-owner of the team. [4] Assistant coach William McCarthy became the head coach prior to the start of the season. [5]

The Brawlers won their first game on March 13, 2011, with a 29–20 victory over the Amarillo Venom. [6]

After their tenth game of the 2011 season, the Bricktown Brawlers released most of their players and used local semiprofessional teams wearing the Brawlers' uniforms to play the final four games. [7] The Brawlers officially folded at the conclusion of the season and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection on July 27, 2011. [8]
