The XFL announced on Monday that former Houston Oilers quarterback coach June Jones will be at the helms of the league’s Houston team as head coach and general manager.
The 66-year-old filled the eighth and final head coaching vacancy in the XFL behind other notable coaches such as Dallas’ Bob Stoops of Oklahoma Sooner fame and Los Angeles’ Winston Moss, a Super Bowl XLV champion with the Green Bay Packers.
“I’m excited and honored to be helping coach Shepherd in a new era of XFL football here in Houston,” said Brian Cooper, XFL Houston’s newly hired president.
