Reported Finalist Hines Ward Does Not Get Texas Southern Head-Coaching Position

A few days ago, former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver and former XFL San Antonio Brahmas’ head coach Hines Ward was reportedly in the running for the head-coaching job at Texas Southern University.

Four days after that report first surfaced, Texas Southern has a new head football coach — and it isn’t Ward.

According to a tweet from Texas Southern, the university is hiring former NFL defensive back Cris Dishman as the school’s new head coach.
