Omaha,Nebraska:  Omaha Bulls owner Russell Vaaset stated on his local radio show "The Bull Pen" that Bulls head coach Tommy Frazier's job is secure. This comes after the Bulls 29-27 loss to Columbus Saturday afternoon that left the Bulls at 4-9..

" Definitely,  Tommy  (Frazier ) will be leading the Bulls next season. True ,this season hasn't gone like we would have liked. But I see a spark in this team, that tell me great things are in store for this organization. Tommy is a great leader as a coach, just as he was when he played quarterback for the Cornhuskers. He knows how to win and knows what it will take to get this team to the next level . I had no doubts when I hired him and have no regrets today ." said Vaaset .

The Bulls will have a tough one this Saturday as they host division foe and division leader Chicago Stags  (10-3). The Stags are coming off a stunning 24-21 loss to Arkansas last Sunday.
