"The South was already a tough division and it just got tougher,” said head coach and general manager Tim Marcum. “To win this division you’ll have to play some good football."

"The Southern Division is widely regarded as the toughest division in the Arena Football League. The addition of the Desperados just gave each team in this division two very tough games to prepare for and we're looking forward to the challenge."

Doug Plank (Georgia Force)

"Over the last four seasons, the Southern Division has been one of the toughest and most physical in Arena Football. Some of our most hard fought games have come against division opponents and with the addition of Dallas to our division I don’t see that changing. The Desperados have been one of the best teams in the AFL over the last couple of seasons and they will strengthen the competition in the Southern Division."
