On 20 July 2012, the Des Moines Menace announced that they would not renew Calloway's contract. Team owner, Kyle Krause, said, "To keep up with the ever-growing changes within our Menace programs, we have decided to move the Menace in a different direction with the structure of our PDL coaching roles and Laurie Calloway's contract will not be renewed".[4]
