Wade Phillips, Jim Haslett, Bob Stoops among eight XFL coaching hires

The XFL has finalized the hiring of all eight head coaches for its 2023 return to the field, owners Dany Garcia and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson announced Wednesday on ESPN's Get Up!

The list includes former NFL head coaches Wade Phillips and Jim Haslett, as well as longtime Oklahoma Sooners coach Bob Stoops, who served a similar role during the XFL's pandemic-shortened 2020 season. The remainder of the coaches are all former NFL players: Terrell Buckley, Hines Ward, Rod Woodson, Reggie Barlow and Anthony Becht.

Individual team assignments will be made at a later date.
