Two new XFL Head Coaches have been announced by the league.
Pep Hamilton has been announced as the Head Coach for the XFL’s Washington D.C. team while Jim Zorn will serve as the Head Coach for Seattle. The football league made the news public on Monday.
Hamilotion left Michigan Football Coaching staff as the Assistant Head Coach of the Wolverines earlier this week for this opportunity. Previously, he served as the offensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts from 2013 to 2015 and Assistant Head Coach and Quarterbacks Coach for the Cleveland Browns in 2016.
On the flip side, Zorn is the former Seahawks quarterback and former NFL head coach for the Washington Redskins from 2008 to 2009. He was also the assistant head coach for the Seattle Seahawks.
