As the owner of two New York Giants Super Bowl rings, former Giants’ offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride was named the head coach of the New York franchise of the XFL for the maiden 2020 season. The announcement was made by XFL commissioner Oliver Luck Tuesday on the league’s live stream.
The new league is roughly 10 months away from its second re-launch and will become a rival league to the NFL; although in its opening stages it may be viewed as more of a developmental league and will comprise a spring format.
