Bob Stoops is the only hired coach to have previously worked with the XFL, coaching the Dallas Renegades in 2020. The rest are brand new. Wade Phillips is a big name for the league to grab, being an NFL coach for many years – and winning a super bowl with the Denver Broncos.
So excited and honored to be picked as an XFL Head Coach. Great that XFL is back and so happy to be back myself!

Reggie Barlow, Hines Ward, Rod Woodson, Terrell Buckley, Anthony Becht, and Jim Haslett top off the final six. As of right now, neither coach has been assigned to a city/team quite yet. This is because the league has not officially announced which teams will be returning.
@XFL2023 per @TheRock and @DanyGarciaCo will meet with coaches next week.
It’s going to be a slow but effective trickle of news that will be announced from now until June.
Just be ready. #DreamsBeginWithinTheX
