Initially, former Orlando Predators' quarterback Ben Bennett was named head coach, but resigned due to disagreements with league management. He was replaced by the Predators' defensive specialist Kenny McEntyre.[1] McEntyre was also replaced before the season started by Predators' assistant coach Doug Miller.[2] The team played their two home games at UCF Arena.

In 2011, the team changed home venues and moved outdoors to the Florida Citrus Bowl.[3] Following the team's final game of the 2011–12 season, head coach Miller was fired for behavioral infractions and playing running back Etta Paul after she had sustained a concussion.[4] The team was suspended in May 2012 and never returned.[5]
