  Memphis Mad Dogs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mad Dogs were part of a failed attempt to expand the CFL into the United States.
On a positive note, the Mad Dogs were known for their strong defensive work that was rated second, behind Edmonton, in the CFL for giving up the least amount of points with 364, due in large part to the strong defensive play of Tim Cofield and Rodney Harding.
Memphis ended the 1995 CFL season with a 9-9-0 regular season record, which placed them in fourth place of the Southern Division, causing them to miss the play-offs in their only season of existence in the CFL.

 Stallions '95: Game 9
Carlos Huerta kicked a 20-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter, and Memphis coach Pepper Rodgers did the Baltimore Stallions an enormous favor with some questionable goal-line offensive strategy, as the Baltimore Stallions recovered from a disastrous start to escape with a 16-13 victory over the Mad Dogs at the Liberty Bowl last night.
Late in the first quarter, Memphis decided to go for a first down on a third and-one at their 48, a strategy that worked near midfield on its opening possession.
After Huerta's field goal, Memphis tied the score at 13 on a drive aided by a roughing the kicker call against Bryant, who took too much of an inside angle on punter Aaron Kanner and plowed into him after missing the block by inches.

 CFL
The Mad Dogs were a part of the CFL's brief expansion into the US market.
According to the CFL, the original Alouettes, the Concordes and the "new" Alouettes are considered the same franchise, despite the name change and a nine-year absence of a team in Montreal from 1987 until 1995.
While the "new game with different rules" attracted a certain amount of support from football fans in the US, it soon became obvious that, particularly in the absence of a major television contract, it would be very difficult for the CFL to introduce Americans to the Canadian game and market it effectively.
