The Arena Football League lost a true legend of the game and a fantastic man on Thursday, December 5th, as Tim Marcum passed away at the age of 68. Countless numbers were touched by what Coach Marcum did both on the field and off the field, and here at ArenaFan, we reached out to as many as we could find to help us all remember the life and times of the greatest coach that ever there ever was in the AFL.

With all the damage and destruction surrounding the Tampa Bay Storm this off-season, it’s a miracle that they haven’t changed the name of the franchise to “Katrina.”
The Storm’s front office has been mired in controversy since last season’s ArenaBowl loss to the Spokane Shock. The team has changed owners, changed head coaches and general managers, endured law suits and failed to re-sign their top-flight quarterback.
And how was YOUR vacation?
Present turmoil aside, the most shocking event has to be the
firing resignation of Storm head coach Tim Marcum due to the discovery of racist jokes and pornographic materials in his work-related e-mail. Shortly after the discovery of said material, it was uncovered that these various items were sent and received by Assistant Coach Dave Ewart… who just so happened to be Marcum’s successor.
