History of the Maulers

The Pittsburgh Maulers were based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and played their home games at Three Rivers Stadium.

The Maulers were owned by Edward DeBartolo Sr., who also owned the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). The team was coached by Rollie Dotsch and featured notable players such as quarterback Cliff Stoudt, running back Craig James, and wide receiver Greg Anderson.

The Maulers struggled during their only season in the USFL, finishing with a record of 3-15 and last place in their division. The league as a whole was also struggling financially, and the Maulers were one of several teams that folded following the 1984 season. The USFL itself folded in 1986.
