"Outside the NFL" had a chance to chat with Rick Mueller, general manager of the United Football League's four franchises.

PFW: You're in a position that you don't see too often in sports. What are the benefits of having a single GM?

Mueller: It sure makes trades a lot easier (laughing). We've got four good head coaches that are pretty easy to work with so it makes it a little more efficient for me and I got a great staff working for me too. It's different. You're dealing with four different squads and you just got to put on four different hats. When you're dealing with each team it's each team independently but it's also got to keep the league in perspective. Like this morning, we're talking about a couple of guys from New York on injured reserve, we're talking about injured players in California. You've kind of got to look at those rosters and you've got to try to replace those injured guys and you're looking for guys out there at different positions. It just depends. You've got to talk to four different coaches during the day and get their perspective on things which is different. Then you've got ownership groups and those types of things that you're dealing with and team travel and all that. When we've got four teams in the air as opposed to just one it gets difficult. But again, I've got a great staff and they do a good job and these coaches all understand how it works and they make it possible.
