Paul Tagliabue NFL
League Expansion
Tagliabue was selected by NFL owners to succeed Pete Rozelle as Commissioner of the NFL in 1989 after serving as a lawyer for the NFL. The NFL expanded from 28 teams to 32 during his tenure as a commissioner with new franchises were announced in 1993 to begin to play in 1995 Charlotte and Jacksonville. Subsequent moves by other teams resulted in a 31st team being added at Cleveland in 1999; this team, though technically an expansion team, inherited the name, colors, and history (including all team and individual records) from the Cleveland Browns, who had relocated to Baltimore in 1996 as the Baltimore Ravens. The 32nd franchise was the Houston Texans, added in 2002.
Europe’s NFL
Paul Tagliabue started the World League of American Football (WLAF), a spring developmental league, with seven teams in North America, and three in Europe. In the first season, the European teams dominated in 1991. In 1992, after the second season, in which US-based teams played in the World Bowl, the World League was shut down as it was no success in the US. The spring league returned as the NFL Europe with six teams in Europe in 1995. Five teams were based in Germany by the time Tagliabue retired. The NFL Europe was shut down by Tagliabue’s successor Roger Goodell after the 2007 season. However, in October 2007, the NFL International Series began with regular-season games in London.
Team Movements
Los Angeles lost both its franchises, with the Raiders returning to Oakland and the Los Angeles Rams relocated to St. Louis. The Browns moved to Baltimore in 1996, as the Baltimore Ravens. The Houston Oilers relocated to Tennessee in 1997, for one year in Memphis and another year using Vanderbilt Stadium as their home field. Upon moving to their permanent stadium in Nashville, the team changed its name from the Oilers to the Titans.
