Former Green Bay Packers associate head coach Winston Moss will be named the head coach and general manager of Los Angeles’ XFL team Tuesday, people with knowledge of the situation told The Times.
Moss won a Super Bowl with the Packers in 2011. He was the head coach of Team Irvin for the 2016 Pro Bowl, leading it to a 49-27 win over Team Rice, which was coached by Andy Reid.
Moss interviewed for several NFL head coaching jobs and was a finalist to be the head coach of the Detroit Lions before the team went with Matt Patricia in 2018. Moss, 53, was a linebacker with the Raiders from 1991 to 1994, their final four years in L.A. He played in the NFL for 11 seasons from 1987 to 1997, including stints with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks, following a four-year career at the University of Miami.
He contributed to Miami’s first football national championship in 1983 and played under head coaches Howard Schnellenberger and Jimmy Johnson. Moss was inducted into the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame in 2015. The yet-to-be-named XFL team in Los Angeles will begin play Feb. 8, 2020, and will hold its home games at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson. The Chargers will play their final season there this year before moving into the new stadium in Inglewood next year.The best, most interesting and strangest stories of the day from the L.A. sports scene and beyond.
