The Akron Vulcans actually played only four games in the Continental Football League, one game versus the Miami Dolphins,. The team won one game and lost the other three before disbanding due to financial difficulties. Doak Walker and Lou Rymkus each served as the Vulcans? coach during the squad?s brief existence.

The financial difficulties faced by the Akron Vulcans consisted of the team's owner looting the equipment and selling it to friends and family just hours before a raid by Akron, State and Federal officers.
