2014 Texas Revolution season  The 2014 Texas Revolution season was the team's fifteenth season as a professional indoor football franchise, fifth in the Indoor Football League (IFL), and second as the "Texas Revolution". One of nine teams in the IFL for the 2014 season, the Texas Revolution competed in the United Conference for the second consecutive year. The team played their home games at the Allen Event Center in Allen, Texas. Chris Williams returned to the IFL as the Texas Revolution's director of football operations and head coach for 2014. The team started strong but faltered, compiling a 3–11 record and missing the playoffs. In the post-season, Williams resigned and the team announced their departure from the IFL. The Revolution announced the hiring of new head coach Chris Williams on August 14, 2013. A 13-year coaching veteran whose last posting was the New Mexico Stars of the Lone Star Football League, Williams was hired after previous Texas Revolution head coach Billy Back led the team to a 5–9 record in 2013 and they failed to qualify for post-season play. IFL veteran Brandon Blackmon returns as defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach. Jermaine Blakely is both offensive and defensive line coach, John Nevarez serves as running backs coach, and Stephon White does double-duty as offensive assistant and special teams coach. On November 7, the team signed rookie quarterback Jimmy Coy. Coy lead the Saint Xavier Cougars to victory in the NAIA Football National Championship in 2011 and was named NAIA Football Player of the Year Award in 2012. In April 2013, Coy was signed by the Chicago Bears of the National Football League as their only quarterback at their rookie minicamp. In June, he briefly joined the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. Also on November 7, the team announced that it had re-signed key veteran Frankie Solomon, Jr. for the 2014 season. In 2013, Solomon was named to both the 1st Team All-IFL on Defense and 2nd Team All-IFL on Special Teams as a kick returner. American Football Coaches Association's Division III All-American Team linebacker Javicz Jones of the University of Mary Hardin–Baylor signed with the Revolution on November 14.
