DC Defenders Head Coach Shannon Harris on winning the UFL Championship, the synergy between his two coaching roles, and his team's chances for a repeat
Monday, 9 February, 2026
On this edition of District of Sports, DC Defenders head coach Shannon Harris joins The Washington Times' George Gerbo to take us though his whirlwind year — from being named interim coach just a week before the season started last March, to leading the Defenders to their first UFL Championship, how he manages his role in Washington with also being the offensive coordinator at Tennessee State, and how the Defenders' 25 returning players set them up nicely for a chance at repeating this spring. The Defenders season begins March 28 at St. Louis, with the home opener at Audi Field two weeks later on April 11, one of five games in the District this spring.
