The XFL has hired Pep Hamilton as head coach and general manager of the league's Washington franchise.
Hamilton, who most recently served as Jim Harbaugh's passing-game coordinator at Michigan, was a finalist for the head coaching job at Maryland before the school hired Alabama offensive coorinator Mike Locksley.
Hamilton was recruited to the league by family friend Oliver Luck. Hamilton worked with Colts quarterback Andrew Luck both at Stanford and in Indianapolis as the team's offensive coordinator from 2013-2015. The 44-year-old has also been on staff with the Browns, Bears, 49ers and Jets during the course of his coaching career.
