Vinny Testaverde back under center with Jesuit

TAMPA --  The 1986 Heisman Trophy winner, Vinny Testaverde was one of the best quarterbacks to ever put on a jersey for the Miami Hurricanes.

His professional career led him across the league, starting right here in Tampa with the Buccaneers.

But instead of returning to his home state of New York, Testaverde made his home here in Tampa with his family.

With his son starting high school at Jesuit this fall, Vinny Testaverde began entertaining the thought of getting out on the football field again, this time as a coach.

With the Tigers under a completely new coaching staff  led by James Harrell, the expectations were lowered. But when coach Harrell received the news of Testaverde's interest of coaching, there was a beam of light.

The time commitment worked out perfectly, and Testaverde is giving guidance on offense and working 1-on-1 with the quarterbacks. His involvement with the team has allowed coach Harrell to focus on his strong suit, the defense.
