Dallas Texans (1990-1993)
The Dallas Texans were the first of four Arena Football League teams to set up shop in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. The Texans earned a trip to Arena Bowl IV in their first season of play in 1990. Pro Football Hall-of-Famer Ernie Stautner was the Texans’ head coach in 1990 and would win the league’s Coach-of-the-Year award (and then never coach indoor football again).
