ESTERO — The Florida Firecats announced today that they have signed head coach Kevin Bouis to a one-year contract extension, through the 2009 season. During his four-year tenure, Bouis has guided the Firecats to a 50-20 overall record in the arenafootball2 (af2) league.
“I’m excited to be back for the ’09 season,” Bouis said in a press release. “This will be my eighth year with the organization, fifth as head coach, and I couldn’t be happier. Florida is where I want to be, and I’m ready to get back to work.”
Bouis has been with the team since 2002, his first three seasons were spent as the Defensive Coordinator before taking over as head coach in 2005. Florida has surrendered an average of 39.7 points per game, among the af2’s best, from 2002-2008.
“Kevin’s record speaks for itself,” Firecats president and general manager Chris Vallozzi said. “He has gotten to 50 wins faster than any coach with one team. He’s won three division titles and led us to two conference appearances. He has continued the great winning tradition we have here and we are looking forward to another championship season under his leadership.”
