While there’s a good chance each of the two new professional football leagues popping up in 2019 and 2020 have ulterior motives either in the business world or the wider political realm, here’s hoping that the Alliance of American Football and the XFL can accomplish at least one thing during their inaugural (only?) season: develop fresh faces in the coaching world.
The insular nature of the NFL can sometimes be beneficial. Kyle Shanahan, for example, has gifted the league with some refreshing offensive concepts thanks to a lifetime in the business. Same goes for Wade Phillips and, for a time, Rex and Rob Ryan.
