Teddy Bridgewater made good on his word. The former New Orleans Saints quarterback led his Miami Northwestern High School football team to a state championship in 3A competition on Saturday night.
“Teddy Two Gloves” found immediate success in coaching high school ball at his old stomping grounds, and their playoff run is one for the record books:
- 69-0 win vs. Barron Collier
- 64-12 win vs. Lely
- 48-0 win vs. Cypress Lake
- 40-0 win vs. Eau Gallie
- 41-0 win vs. Raines
Good for him and the young men he’s coaching. Bridgewater has done well for himself everywhere he’s been, whether as a starting quarterback in high school or in college at Louisville, or as a top-flight backup with the Saints; he saved their 2019 season by stepping in for an injured Drew Brees. Now he’s earned some coaching bona fides, too.
So what’s next for Bridgewater? He could run it back at Miami Northwestern or go looking for other opportunities, having speculated about a return to the NFL before. Wherever he goes next, it’s a safe bet that he’ll have plenty of fans cheering him on.
