Not the news I expected to hear today. Hines Ward is out as Head Coach for the San Antonio Brahmas. Houston Roughnecks Head Coach Wade Phillips is said to take the reins in his place joined by Houston Roughnecks offensive coordinator A.J. Smith. Good luck Coach!
#XFL

#USFL
Hines Ward is indeed out due to a contractual disagreement. Ward didn’t agree to terms of the new merged league’s coaching contracts, set to begin on January 1st. So the league has pivoted by placing Wade Phillips as the new head coach of the San Antonio Brahmas.
