Going from being a National Football League quarterback to coaching high school football comes with some challenges, and former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is dealing with those.
As the head coach at Miami Northwestern, Bridgewater led them to a Florida state championship in his first season at the helm. It hasn't come without it's challenges though, and Bridgewater is going public with them.
Teddy Bridgewater asks for help in running football program
Running a high school football team isn't just about the Xs and Os, there are so many little things that come along with it, especially at the high school level.
Bridgewater took to Facebook to explain the issues that he's facing, which is considerable.
- Uber rides: $700 per week
- Athletic recovery services $1,300 per week
- Pre-game meals: $2,200 per week
Those expenses over the course of 4-5 months can be a massive one for any high school coach. Luckily for Bridgewater, he can theoretically afford it due to the millions he made while playing in the NFL with career earnings of $65,187,071 per Over The Cap. Even so, those responsibilities are difficult on the program.
Getting some fundraising for the program would be a huge benefit for the program and Bridgewater, and hopefully the success from his first season will make a big difference in getting that support.
