One of the all-time legends of the all-time most successful minor league sports franchise in South Dakota history is walking away from that operation.
After 22 years with the Sioux Falls Storm — the last one as head coach — Andre Fields resigned on Tuesday. A day later, he joined Happy Hour host John Gaskins to explain why.
The Storm are dormant in 2025. Does Fields know what the prospects are for the team to come back in 2026? How much did this have to do with his decision?
The University of South Dakota alumnus was a defensive back on the Storm's first four (consecutive) indoor professional league championship teams from 2005-08, then part of five more titles as an assistant coach.
He explains what he'll miss most about part of such a decorated organization, why the Storm regressed from perennial IFL powerhouse to a less competitive outfit the last several years, his experiences of his first and only season as a head coach (3-13 record), and if he plans to ever coach at any level of football again.
