Good Luck Teddy
MIAMI — Teddy Bridgewater's post-NFL journey will start in the place his football stardom began.
Bridgewater, who recently retired from the NFL after a decade-long career, has been named the head coach at Miami Northwestern Senior High School, his alma mater, inheriting a team that went 4-6 last season, but one that he's familiar with.
Born and raised in Miami, Bridgewater started at quarterback for Miami Northwestern from 2008-2010, recording more than 5,000 yards passing and leading the Bulls to the state finals.
He developed into one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation before going on to have a successful college career at Louisville. Minnesota selected Bridgewater with the No. 32 pick in the 2014 NFL draft, and he spent three years there before a gruesome knee injury nearly ended his career.
Bridgewater said then that the injury gave him a deeper gratitude for life — to never take anything for granted — and he worked his way back and had stints with New Orleans, Carolina and Denver.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
From 8/2023:
Per Spotrac, he has made a whopping $62,059,985 in career earnings.Reports claim that Bridgewater has earned $22,483,046 in salary, $26,801,456 in signing bonuses, $868,125 in roster bonuses, $750,000 in workout bonuses, $11,127,000 in restructured bonuses and $30,358 in incentives.

It doesnt surprise me that McCarthy would give Zimsu an interview.
But I'd be surprised if McCarthy went this route vs a young, upcoming savant type thats all the rage these days. I dont think "the optics" of hiring Zimm would be positive.

Could be, but Zimm has history in Dallas and Jerrah will likely have a say in the hiring...so it's possible

Zim has the talent to be a special DC. He was innovative and always at the front of the pack with defenses. As long as he isn't expected to meet with the QB, he will be fine.
