The second iteration of the WWE-helmed XFL launched in 2020, but was quickly shuttered due to the onset of COVID-19 in the middle of its inaugural season. Months later, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson led a consortium to buy the brand, with aims to relaunch the league in time for a spring 2023 season.
In 2020, former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops was probably the biggest name leading a team in the upstart league. Fast forward three years, and Stoops is ready to take another shot at it.
The former Dallas Renegades coach will again lead a team, the XFL announced on Wednesday morning.
