Teddy Bridgewater, a 32-year-old retired former NFL quarterback, announced his departure from Miami Northwestern High School in a Facebook post. As we’ve seen with former NFL player and coach Bridgewater, he may not even need to self-report. These payments went towards Uber rides, meals, and recovery service. Though she was suspended for her actions, Bridgewater is still deeply devoted to her high school. He promised that he’s not going anywhere from his gig poaching for his sport’s Olympic program.
Bridgewater’s Miami Northwestern tenure started on a memorable note. In his inaugural season as head coach in 2024, he took the team to a Class 3A state championship. His coaching role followed a successful professional career in the NFL, where he played for six teams from 2014 to 2024. In his 57 games played during the regular season, Bridgewater had a total of 33 wins and 32 losses. He piled up a phantasmagoric 15,120 passing yards and 75 tech touchdowns. Most impressively, he recorded as a quarterback his only playoff pass attempt (three yards) in a game against the Washington Commanders.
In his Facebook post, Bridgewater acknowledged the situation surrounding his suspension, stating, “The suspension came from MNW and it’s impossible to suspend someone who doesn’t work for you. So if I’m suspended from MNW I’m free to go to another school of my choice but IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE.” Most notably, he drew attention to the financial sacrifices he made on behalf of his players. Currently, he’s beseeching donors to pledge and help him close the gap for this year.
Earlier this month, Bridgewater underscored his dedication to getting his players paid. As he mentioned in his recent post about how to pay for them, he has always had their best intention at heart. What stands out most is his commitment to the success of his team. He makes a personal and abiding investment in their development as young men on and off the field.
Bridgewater has an undeniable hunger to continue to remain close with the team during his suspension. He’s not too proud to offer some free coaching from the bleachers. He stated, “And if it comes down to it, I will volunteer from the bleachers like I used to in 2018 and 2019 when no one had a problem.” This quote highlights his commitment to making sure that his players still get the support and guidance they deserve.
