 The Abilene Ruff Riders are expected to announce the team's new general manager at a news conference Wednesday. The event is set to take place at Lytle Land and Cattle Company at 2 p.m.

The team has been without a general manager since July. The Ruff Riders' owners fired Barney Welch on July 28.

Under Welch's leadership, the team made the IFL playoffs. However, Welch is probably best known for signing troubled quarterback Quincy Carter. Carter was arrested for a probation violation during his stint with the team.

It's been rumored that his departure centered about financial issues. Welch continued to deny those claims.

In a press release sent out today, team representatives said "announcements to be made will be in regards to the Ruff Riders Front Office Staff, Coaching Staff & Player re-signings."

Check back Wednesday for complete details of the major announcement.
