This is awesome. Teddy Bridgewater is one of best guys out there. Straight out of NFL retirement and back to his alma mater as Miami Northwestern's next head football coach. Those kids are lucky to have him. https://t.co/wcIoREes91

Retires and immediately becomes the head coach at his alma mater. One of the easiest guys to root for.

Congrats, Teddy! https://t.co/up4zpzcqWy
