2012 Saginaw Sting season

The 2012 Saginaw Sting season is the 4th season for the American Continental Indoor Football League franchise.

On November 11, 2011, Esposito sold his rights to operate the team to Schweigert, Rob Licht and Jim O'Brien. The new ownership announced the same day that they would be moving the team back to the CIFL. On December 29, 2011, the Sting announced that 2011 interim head coach Vince Leveille would return as the full-time head coach for the 2012 season, but just 11 days before the team's first game, Leveille stepped down as the head coach, citing that his full-time job made him unavailable to do both. Defensive Coordinator Fred Townsend took over as the team's head coach.

With a 8–0 record, the Sting returned to the CIFL playoffs for the first time since 2008, when they won the 2008 CIFL Championship Game and finished the season as the Atlantic Conferences's #2 seed.

In the 2012 CIFL Championship Game, the Sting defeated the Dayton Silverbacks 35-7, to win the CIFL championship. The title for the Sting was their 3rd in the last 4 seasons of playing.

Week 3: vs Indianapolis Enforcers
The Sting set a CIFL record by scoring 91 point in a single game. The previous high has been the Rochester Raiders in a 90-45 win over Lehigh Valley Outlawz on May 7, 2006.

Week 4: vs Evansville Rage
With the win, the Sting improved to 3-0.
