Born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, Artie Sayers grew up in a tight-knit, working-class family where discipline and grit were the cornerstones of daily life. A standout linebacker at both the collegiate and professional levels, Artie made a name for himself with the Cleveland Browns before transitioning into coaching. His deep love for the game and commanding presence naturally led him to the sidelines, where he served as the linebackers coach at Rutgers University. After years of molding young athletes, Artie set his sights higher—he left the college scene to pursue his dream of leading a team as head coach. Known for his booming voice and “no excuses” attitude, Artie blends old-school toughness with modern strategic thinking. At 41, he owns a home in New Jersey with his supportive wife and maintains a strict, health-conscious routine. Fiercely competitive and driven by a desire to wield influence on and off the field, Artie fears failure more than injury. He commands loyalty from his players and staff, and his experience as both a player and coach makes him a top-tier candidate to lead a franchise in the inaugural season of the Dynamic Football League.
