Steve Spurrier is returning to coaching. This is not a drill.

The Head Ball Coach is knocking the dust off of his headset to lead a team as its head coach in the shiny new Alliance of American Football—a league that leapfrogged the XFL redux and will debut on Feb. 9, 2019.

The league announced the addition of Spurrier on Saturday morning as head coach of the Orlando franchise.

"The new rules I really liked. Two-and-a-half-hour games, 30 seconds in between plays and the fans want to see that," Spurrier said Saturday while appearing on CBS News. "In life, we all need a challenge."

The eight-team league, founded by Charlie Ebersol, will play a 10-game regular season. Spurrier was alongside Ebersol and former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward on “CBS This Morning: Saturday” to provide a sort of intro course on the league and his role.

"It's a fine line between who makes a team and who doesn't in the NFL,” he said. “We don't have a minor league of professional football. Those players get a chance to continue playing even if they don't play at the highest level and then maybe someday they play well enough to go to the highest level."

Whatever the case, football is better with the HBC roaming the sidelines, so we’re very much here for this.
