Chuck Long had a legendary QB career for Iowa, nearly winning a Heisman with the Hawkeyes in 1985. He went into coaching with stops at Iowa, Oklahoma, San Diego State and Kansas. His last major position was offensive coordinator for the Jayhawks, a job that ended in 2011. Since then, he worked for the Big Ten Network and became executive director for the Iowa Sports Foundation.The last few years, however, a former Iowa teammate has Long back in the game.Bob Stoops, who also had a Hall-of-Fame career coaching at the University of Oklahoma, came out of retirement two years ago to accept the head coaching position for the Arlington Renegades of the XFL. "Bob Stoops called me up and said, 'Charlie, what are you doing?'" Long said.Stoops hired Long as the team's offensive coordinator last season. The Renegades wound up winning the XFL Championship. Stoops wanted Long back for another year, and Long agreed. The part-time nature of the job fits Long's current life perfectly."I like to keep my toe in football a little bit," Long said. "I am not looking for a full-time coaching gig. I have been there and done that, so this works out well for me."He doesn't have to be there year-round. Long, like most staff members, can live out of a hotel in the Dallas area during the 10-week regular season. He can still keep his job with the Iowa Sports Foundation."I enjoy being around coaching. It keeps me young," Long said. He also embraces the opportunity to help players earn looks from the NFL."These guys have a dream for keeping their dream alive. Last year, out of 400 in our league, 60 to 65 had an NFL tryout or camp invite. That is a high percentage. That is the goal as well. Give these guys a chance," Long said. The XFL merged with the USFL this year, forming the United Football League. Will it last?"We have some powerful people behind it, a really good investment group behind it, and Fox behind it. So far, so good. It's all about TV viewership. It remains to be seen. I'm hopeful. I don't know how long I'm going to be doing this. I take it one year at a time, and it's been a lot of fun," Long said. You can see Long and the Renegades Sunday at noon on Fox and FS1 when they play at Michigan.
