Before he returned to the NFL in 2024, Bridgewater took the job as the coach of his prep alma mater, Miami Northwestern Senior High School, and led the team led to a Class 3A state championship. However, he was suspended from the job for allegedly providing impermissible benefits to his players. Bridgewater posted on Facebook that he paid for Uber rides, meals and recovery services for his players during the 2024 season and self-reported his activity to the school.
His suspension and public backlash to it ultimately led to a new law in Florida. Earlier this year, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the "Teddy Bridgewater Act" into law, allowing high school coaches in the state to use their own money to help their players with expenses such as food, transportation, physical therapy and rehabilitation services.
