NAFL ADDS CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING VETERAN AS PRO ADVANCEMENT COACH

We are pleased to announce the addition of veteran indoor coach Jeremy Liotta as one of our Pro Advancement Coaches for the 2027 season. We have created a "Pro Advancement Coaching Staff" made up of several veteran pro coaches to help give our member teams and players guidance and tips on helping them achieve their goals of playing at a higher level. We will be announcing them soon as well.

Coach Liotta is a championship winning coach at the high school, Amateur, Minor League as well as Professional ranks. He has served in multiple positions from Football Coach | Defensive Coordinator | Player Personnel | Recruiting | Professional Football Operations

Jeremy Liotta is a veteran football coach and football operations executive with more than two decades of coaching experience spanning high school, semi-professional, arena/indoor and professional football. His background includes serving as a Head Coach, Assistant Head Coach, Defensive Coordinator, Offensive/Defensive Line Coach and Director of Player Personnel, as well as owning and operating professional football combines designed to connect athletes with opportunities at the next level.

Liotta has been part of championship programs at the high school, semi-professional and professional levels, including a 2003 WPIAL Championship as a player, multiple semi-professional championships, and professional arena football championships with the Erie Explosion.

His most notable professional accomplishment came during the 2013 season with the Erie Explosion, where Liotta coordinated a historically dominant defense. The unit finished as the top-ranked defense in CIFL history and statistically the best defense among indoor football leagues nationwide that season. The defense helped propel Erie to a perfect 12–0 regular-season record and the 2013 CIFL Championship. The undefeated championship season was only the sixth undefeated championship season in professional indoor/arena football history at the time.

Liotta’s 2013 defense also produced CIFL Defensive Player of the Year Kwaheem Smith, while Ricardo Kemp was named Defensive MVP of the 2013 Championship Game.

Beyond coaching, Liotta has extensive experience in player evaluation, recruiting, roster management and professional football operations. As owner/operator of the Steel City/Steel Super Combine, he has helped numerous free-agent players pursue and secure professional opportunities across arena football, the CFL, UFL and NFL.

"Jeremy is as passionate as they come. I have known him for multiple years and have watched him grow as a leader of men. His passion and dedication to helping players reach their full potential as well as goals is unmatched. We are blessed to have him on board with us and know it will benefit our member teams and players tremendously."-NAFL CEO Paul Pennington.

 Coach Liotta has helped close to 150 players earn professional contracts in his combine/coaching career. His dedication to player development is exactly what should be expected by all professional coaches. He takes more enjoyment in seeing his guys succeed than he does the accolades that come with it.

Whether their careers are at the end of the road and this is the level they will finish at or they are looking to advance to something higher, we fully support each and every player registered with the NAFL. Adding advisory coaches such as Coach Liotta only help our players in their quest to advance their game and reach their full potential.
