Former Buffalo Bills staffer Ted Cottrell will be joining the rebooted XFL that kicks off in 2020. Per John McClain of The Houston Chronicle, Cottrell will join June Jones on the XFL Houston team as a defensive coordinator.
Cottrell started his NFL career under Marv Levy, acting as a linebackers coach for the Chiefs when the two were in Kansas City. When Levy moved on to Buffalo, he re-hired Cottrell, who at the time was coaching in the USFL. For four seasons, Cottrell acted as the team’s defensive line coach, playing a key-role in Bruce Smith‘s development.
