A rally took place outside Miami Northwestern Senior High School, where alumni protested for the reinstatement of football coach Teddy Bridgewater. He returned to the school after retiring from the NFL and led the team to a state championship. However, in July 2025, he was suspended for providing impermissible benefits to players, which included over $100,000 spent on related expenses that were not approved by the school's program. His supporters emphasize his impact on the community and youth.
Teddy [Bridgewater] means so much to this community, and it's deeper than football. It's about our future and our kids, everyone loves and appreciates [Teddy]. He brings hope and inspiration.
After retiring from the NFL in 2023, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater returned to his alma mater as head coach and transformed the program, helping bring the team the 2024 state championship.
Bridgewater self-reported his expenditures of over $100,000 during the 2024 season on Uber rides, pregame meals, and athletic recovery services.
In July 2025, the school suspended him for providing what the Florida High School Athletic Association deemed 'impermissible benefits' to players.
