On this week’s show, we have the Head Coach, General Manager & Co-Owner of the Oregon Lightning, Mr. Chuck Jones! (It might be easier to list the roles he doesn’t do for the organization at this point tbh)

We talk through his football journey and how he got involved with the arena football game, his semi-retirement and hiatus from arena football, what brought him back, transitioning into coaching, what he learned from the 2024 Oregon Blackbears fiasco, and what he is excited about for 2025 and beyond!

 

Go give the new Oregon Lightning socials a follow and tell them you heard Coach Jones on Off The Wall!
