Alan Risher Biography

Alan Risher is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on May 6, 1961 in New Orleans, New Orleans, United States. Alan David Risher (born May 6, 1961) is a former quarterback for the United States Football League (USFL) who played for the Arizona Wranglers. The USFL was a 12 team league in 1983, so although Risher was drafted 170th overall in the league’s 1983 draft, he was actually the team’s 15th round pick that year. Risher was the starting quarterback for the Wranglers for most of the league’s initial 1983 season. He is known best for directing what is widely acknowledged as the greatest upset in USFL history. He backed up Greg Landry on the 1984 Western Conference Champion Wranglers squad.

The matchup between the Arizona Wranglers and George Allen’s Chicago Blitz that occurred Saturday, March 12, 1983, is widely considered the greatest upset in league history.

Risher was a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1985 and started for the Green Bay Packers strike team in 1987, posting a career rating of 80.0 in the NFL in leading the team to a 2-1 record.

From here the season collapsed for Risher and his 4-4 Wranglers. They would finish with a USFL record 10 straight losses. Although, Riser, Keel, Balholm, and Flowers would all end the season among the league leaders, the team was legitimately among the youngest and least talented in the league. The defense and offense were both inconsistent. As the rest of the league rounded into midseason form, the offense struggled and the Wrangler D had difficulties keeping the games within reach. Talent and depth shortfalls, the “Arizona heat”, the young team collectively hitting a “rookie wall”, and bad coaching are listed as possible factors credited with the collapse of the 1983 Wranglers.

Risher played collegiate ball for Louisiana State University from 1979-1982. Alan, has a son, Chad Risher, who owns his own business in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In spite of the team’s finish, Risher would finish the season as the league’s 6th ranked quarterback in 1983.

After the season, the Wranglers were sold to Blitz owner Dr. Ted Diethrich. Coach Shively was fired. The teams traded rosters with the exception of Risher, who stayed in Arizona to serve as backup to Landry on the 1984 Western Conference Champion Arizona Wranglers. Risher would throw 103 passes in 1984 in relief of Landry.
