Reggie Barlow earned XFL Coach of the Year honors Tuesday after leading the D.C. Defenders to a league-best 9-1 record and a trip to the XFL Championship Game, which is set to be played on May 13.
Barlow, 51, was picked by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the fourth round of the 1996 NFL draft and starred as a return specialist for the team. In five seasons in Jacksonville, he returned two punts for touchdowns and one kickoff for a touchdown.
