Teddy Bridgewater's next chapter has already begun. The former Detroit Lions quarterback is now the head football coach at his alma mater, Miami Northwestern Senior High School.
The news of Bridgewater's new gig was reported by Andy Villamarzo of SBLive Sports on Friday. The 31-year-old Bridgewater served as Jared Goff's backup this season, a commitment that closed with the Lions' season ending in a 34-31 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 28.
Not even a week later, Bridgewater began his new role at the school by meeting with the team's returning players and personnel, Miami Northwestern athletic director Andre Williams told ESPN's Adam Rittenberg.
