Saint Louis: Jonathan Hayes was ecstatic to be hired as the St. Louis BattleHawks’ first head coach after spending 12 years as an NFL player and 16 years as a coach with the Cincinnati Bengals.

“I had a great time living in St. Louis. Hayes remarked, “They adopted us and made us their own.”

However, the coronavirus took away Hayes’s job less than a year after he was given it. After terminating all workers and putting an end to operations, the XFL folded.

The XFL filed for bankruptcy on Monday.

With an eye toward 2021, Hayes stated, “To be honest with you, I had just done a write-up on some of the things we’d like to work on and improve.”

He claimed that it was unexpected to learn that the XFL was suspending operations. He anticipated that everyone would experience a COVID-19 furlough, but not a firing. Nevertheless, he acknowledged that it was inevitable and expressed gratitude that the XFL paid them until the start of April and continued to provide benefits.

Oliver Luck and Vince McMahon gave me my first chance to be a head coach, so I’m not going to sit here and criticize him,” Hayes remarked.

In addition to his work as a professional coach, Hayes stated that he is concentrating on his role as a father.

“I exercise with my two young teenage boys and my daughter, who is preparing to leave to play basketball at the University of Cincinnati. There, we were having a great time,” he remarked.

Hayes wants to repeat the experience of building his staff and team from the ground up that he had in his first season as general manager and head coach.

Hayes stated, “Those are the kinds of things I’d like to keep doing.”

Hayes joked that he could become a journalist if not. Meanwhile, he claimed that taking this break from the game has given him important life lessons that anybody can apply.

“Time is a resource that never stops, so it’s important to make the most of the time you do have with your loved ones,” he stated.
