Canton Rep
Olive re-signs with Legends Friday, August 11, 2006 CANTON - Fresh off an American Indoor Football League championship, the Canton Legends re-signed Head Coach Bobby Olive on Thursday to a one-year contract. On the field, Olive serves as offensive coordinator along with head coach. Off the field, he is adding the title director of football operations. “The chance to repeat as AIFL champs with this group of players was an opportunity I didn’t want to pass up,” said Olive, a former defensive back at Ohio State University. “While coaching is my passion, I’m also excited about moving into the front office and helping the Legends to become as well-known off the field and in the Canton community as they are on the field.” Olive becomes the second coach this month to add front-office duties. Line coach Ed Korns was named the team’s general manager Aug. 2. “Bobby’s return to Canton in 2007 became our top priority once the team won the American Bowl in Rome,” Korns said. For information on tickets for the 2007 Canton Legends season, call the team office at (330) 453-8440. |

The Legends (0-6) also hope to add quarterbacks Kevin Mason and Scott McMullen in order to generate a second-half AIFA playoff push. "We have the potential to turn this thing around," Hoffman said. "The guys seem excited." Olive was Canton's head coach in 2006 and 2007, taking the team to the playoffs both years. He was scheduled to be at practice with the team Tuesday night. Olive, a former Ohio State wide receiver, left the Legends after last season to develop a clothing line. He was not available for comment Tuesday. Former Head Coach Ed Korns was offered the opportunity to stay as defensive coordinator. Korns talked with Olive on Tuesday, and said he would give his answer by Thursday. Cont... |

As weird as this is, Bobby was my substitute teacher today at Gahanna. He said he is thinking about coaching high school football in the Columbus area and needs to be able to teach to do that. So just a strange run in with someone I guess used to play for the Buckeyes (He was before my time).
