After contending for the postseason in their first season, the Roughnecks slumped to a last-place finish in their second year as the helter-skelter nature of their play saw their offense fail to keep up with the defensive flaws that saw the side concede the most shots on goal of any side in the USL.

That has led to offseason changes, with Head Coach David Irving being reassigned to become the club’s Director of Football. The club’s new Head Coach will need to quickly put his imprint on a team that needs a new defensive structure, and greater discipline, to rebound in 2017.
