2017 Georgia Firebirds season Owner Terence Fowler, Sr. Head coach Antwone Savage Home field Albany Civic Center Record 2–9 Conference place 6th Playoff finish Did not qualify
The 2017 Georgia Firebirds season was the second season for the professional indoor football franchise and first in the National Arena League (NAL). The Firebirds were one of eight teams that competed in the NAL for its inaugural 2017 season
Led by head coach Antwone Savage, the Firebirds played their home games at the Albany Civic Center . In May 2017, the league apparently took over operations of the Firebirds for the remainder of the season. As a result, the league cancelled the Firebirds' away game at the Corpus Christi Rage (another team the league was operating) as a cost-cutting measure.[1]
