The assistant coaches were: Ron Hill, Offensive Coordinator, Ed Cunningham, Line coach, Keith Easley, Defence and Quality Control. The primary owners were Kenny Easley, Jr. (2000-03) and Bruce Smith (2000-03). Billy Mann served the team as General Manager, Patricia Easley and Adianna Manzella were the front office leaders.
