Report: Bob Stoops expected to come out of retirement and coach Dallas XFL team
For whatever reason, the past year has seen two new football leagues decide to launch, with the Alliance of American Football kicking off this year and the new-look XFL debuting in 2020.
The AAF will kick off its first games this weekend, but the XFL is dominating the news cycle on Wednesday.
Per a report from Pro Football Talk, former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops is expected to be the new coach and general manager of the Dallas XFL franchise:
Expect the coach/G.M. of the Dallas franchise to be former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops.
If/when (when) that happens, it will be big. And it will give the XFL a kick in the pants, just as the AAF launches.
That’s obviously a huge get for the XFL, as Stoops has been linked to a number of jobs since retiring from Oklahoma a couple of years ago.
Stoops will now enjoy one more season of retirement before returning to the sidelines as a coach of a pro franchise.
