Report: Kurt Warner named offensive coordinator at Arizona high school
Former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner has been named offensive coordinator at Desert Mountain High in Scottsdale, Ariz., The Arizona Republic reports.
Warner, 43, spent five seasons quarterbacking the Arizona Cardinals, leading them to their only Super Bowl appearance, in 2009. He was named 1999 NFL MVP as a member of the St. Louis Rams, who he led to a Super Bowl title that season.
Warner has helped coach Desert Mountain since his son Kade, now a junior receiver and linebacker, started in the football program during his freshman year, according to The Arizona Republic. Warner served as quarterbacks coach before taking over offensive coordinator responsibilities.
