There ' s no question we did , or I ' ll say the USFL did . I don ' t think we did or Tampa Bay did . Hindsight is much better than foresight , I know , but things were done that hurt us . We ( the Stallions ) didn ' t go crazy . We lost the fewest dollars of any USFL team . We were always the poorest team in the playoffs , but we held our own and I ' m proud of that . We did a good job with what we had . We won a lot more than we lost , and that ' s the biggest thing " . Dotsch returned to the NFL in 1987 as running backs coach for the Minnesota Vikings .
