Teddy Bridgewater gets his first win as a high school football coach

Former New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is still finding ways to win. He’s coaching high school football after finishing his playing career with the Detroit Lions.

Bridgewater, who returned to his alma mater at Miami Northwestern, just earned his first win as a high school coach. His Bulls team came away with an impressive 42-7 victory on Saturday against the Palmetto Panthers to start their season (and his career) 1-0.

He isn’t the only the only former Saint quarterback to enter the coaching ranks. Mark Brunell and J.T. Barrett have both found themselves coaching with the Lions. Those are some more ties to Lions head coach Dan Campbell, who has familiarity with both players along with Bridgewater during his time in New Orleans. He was teammates with Brunell and coached Barrett before going to Detroit.

With that said, a big congrats Bridgewater on a huge accomplishment in the place where it all started for him. We’ll all make sure to stay tuned to him and his squad as their season continues.
