Former NFL QB Teddy Bridgewater went back to his high school Miami Northwestern High and started coaching and led them to a state championship last season. He also treated his players incredibly, which is was a violation...

quote:
ESPN -- Former NFL quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has been suspended from his position as a high school football coach in Miami for allegedly providing impermissible benefits to his players.

…Bridgewater posted earlier this month on Facebook that he paid for Uber rides, meals and recovery services for his players last season. He asked fans to donate to help cover such expenses this year. He said in the post confirming his suspension that he self-reported the payments to Miami Northwestern.

I like ole Teddy. Sounds like he was using his NFL fortune to give back. Good on him. Idk what rules were broken or if someone has an axe to grind with Teddy or that school, but on the surface it seems like good intentions.

Damn, huge amount of respect. Dude put up $60k of his own cash for the team he coaches? That's probably not much less than his salary there. So he is coaching for free.

He has no salary. He doesn't work there.

He coaches for free. He volunteers, but he is the main reason, outside of the actual players, that they have won multiple state championships. Sounds like they don't even want the guy coaching anymore. Somebody doesn't like him higher up IMO.

HOW can you determine that was paid as a “volunteer” & not “coach”?

& the Uber fees REALLY are suspect.
