LaVar Arrington hired as head football coach at California high school

Longtime Washington Redskins linebacker LaVar Arrington has been hired by Maranatha High School in Pasadena, California as its new head football coach.

The three-time Pro Bowler and second overall draft pick played six seasons with Washington.

Arrington’s ties to California began in his post-football broadcasting career, when he moved to the West Coast to work for NFL Network. But he must have gotten the itch to return to a more active role on the gridiron, because he was an assistant coach for Long Beach Poly High School’s team last year, according to the Los Angeles Times.
