After months of rumors, the Bossier/Shreveport franchise is relocating to New Orleans, a Louisiana newspaper is reporting.

The team will take on the logo and nickname “VooDoo” that was used by the New Orleans’ AFL franchise from 2005-08. More here.

Meanwhile, it appears ex-Shock coach Chris Siegfried is in position to take over as head coach of the Pittsburgh Power, one of four new AFL teams for 2011. An announcement could come as early as tomorrow. More here.

Finally, former Shock coach Adam Shackleford has signed on to coach the Tri-Cities Fever for three more years. Read the story here. The Fever play in the IFL, one of indoor football’s minor leagues. Shackleford’s new deal stipulates that he can leave for an NFL, CFL or college job, but not for a position in the AFL.

OK, the Shock post below wouldn’t accept the link to Adam Shackleford visiting with the Tri-Cities Fever about an assistant coaching position. Here it is, hopefully.

I put together a roundup of everything Shock related, including Ben McCombs’ return, Raul Vijil’s possible return, the departure of four Shock players to a rival team, Adam Shackleford talking jobs with Tri-Cities and more details about the new arena football league.

Read on.

On the team’s Web site, the first line in the bio of Adam Shackleford reads: 2010 will be Shackleford’s fourth season as head coach of the Spokane Shock.

Turns out, it won’t. The Shock decided not to retain Shackleford, who was wildly successful in three years, and picked Rob Keefe as the new head coach. (Shackleford is pictured above, with Keefe to the right).

I’ve posted an unedited article below on the change.

Checked in on the Shock at Tuesday’s practice and put together a notebook that will run in Wednesday’s S-R. Take a look at the unedited version below.

Spokane Shock head coach Adam Shackleford celebrated an arenafootball2 win Friday night and the arrival of his second son early Saturday morning.

Shackleford’s wife, Migdalia, went into labor at halftime and left the game to go to the hospital. Shortly after No. 1-ranked Spokane wrapped up a 61-28 win over Oklahoma City, Shackleford joined Migdalia at the hospital and Caleb William Shackleford was born at about 3 a.m.

Caleb weighed seven pounds, eight ounces.

“Everybody’s doing great,” said Shackleford, whose son, Elijah, is roughly 20 months old.
