The Tucson Sugar Skulls didn't have to look far for their next head coach.
Tucson promoted offensive coordinator Hurtis Chinn, who was recently named the Indoor Football League's Assistant Coach of the Year, as the franchise's next head coach. Chinn is the team's third head coach in five seasons.
"We did our due diligence and had a thorough search, interviewing many qualified candidates. We feel that Coach Chinn is ultimately the right fit for us both on and off the field to continue building the championship culture we are striving for." Chinn returned to Tucson last season. Under Chinn, the Sugar Skulls averaged 47.8 points per game, the third-best mark in the league. Tucson was also sixth with 212.4 yards per game. Tucson quarterback Daquan Neal was second in the IFL with 2,342 yards and 50 touchdowns under Chinn's tutelage.
