In a surprising turn of events, Shelton Collier has been removed from his position as the head coach of the Omaha Supernovas after just two matches into the season. The decision comes as the Supernovas are off to what the organization terms a “tremendous start.” Supernovas President, Diane Mendenhall, explained, “With the Supernovas off to a tremendous start, we need to expand our operations in preparations for our immediate future needs. We are fortunate to have Coach Collier’s experience in moving into this role as Advisor to the Organization.” Mendenhall continued, “As Head Coach, Shelton has been a vital part of the formation of this team; helping us recruit a world-class roster that Omaha and our state have embraced. He also assembled an extremely talented coaching staff, whose collective skill sets, experience and dynamics, will continue to elevate the momentum in building a championship franchise.” Shelton Collier will transition into the role of Advisor to the Organization.
Replacing Collier is Bird Kuhn, a seasoned coach with notable experience at the collegiate level, most recently serving as the head coach at Texas A&M. Kuhn brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the Supernovas, and the organization looks forward to the continued success of the team under her guidance. The sudden coaching change has left fans and followers eager to see how the team will adapt and perform in the upcoming matches under Coach Kuhn’s leadership.
