    Jerry Glanville was named the coach of the United Football League's Hartford Colonials on Monday.

    UFL commissioner Michael Huyghue said that bringing in Glanville is part of the league's strategy to hire coaches who "have a winning pedigree and are household names."

    The 69-year-old Glanville joins Jim Fassel in Las Vegas and Dennis Green in Sacramento as UFL coaches who had previously worked in the NFL.

    "You do what you love," Glanville said Sunday before Monday's official announcement. "The best part of this deal is watching players get better. That's what it's all about. If I was feeling any better, they'd have to send me to jail."

    Glanville, who was 63-73 as an NFL coach, succeeds Chris Palmer who led Hartford to a 3-5 record in 2010, then left in February to become offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans.
