Changes

For the 2009 season, the '''Power''' moved to the [[Wikipedia:Women's Football Alliance|Women's Football Alliance]] (WFA) and changed their name to the [[Gulf Coast Riptide]] because the previous owner, '''Roy Jones, Jr.''' stepped down as owner but retained the naming rights. The Head Coach is '''Mike Thomas'''. The regional name "Gulf Coast" reflects numerous players who live in surrounding cities such as Mobile and Panama City. Despite another well-played season and a second straight 6-2-0 record, for the first time in franchise history, the '''Riptide''' missed the playoffs. Eight teams in the WFA would make the playoffs; The four division winners from the American Conference and the three division winners plus one wildcard from the National Conference. The '''Riptide''' ended the sesaon as the league's 8th best team, however, the two losses to the eventual Southeast Division winner [[Wikipedia:Jacksonville Dixie Blues|Jacksonville Dixie Blues]] sealed the team's fate. Th league's 9th ranked team, the [[Wikipedia:Indiana Speed|Indiana Speed]] would qualify as the eighth playoff team being the wildcard in the National Conference.
