Rod Woodson, Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer, is out as the Vegas Vipers head coach after one season that saw the team go 2-8.

The XFL released a statement Sunday to announce that Woodson and the Vipers agreed to mutually part ways, less than a month after the Arlington Renegades won the championship game over the DC Defenders.

"We want to thank Rod for his hard work and commitment to the Vipers and the League last season," XFL President Russ Brandon said in a statement.

"During Rod’s time with the team, the players had an incredible opportunity to learn and benefit from his experience. He left an indelible mark on all the coaches, staff, and players. We wish Rod and his family all the best in their future pursuits."

Woodson, 58, spent the majority of his 17 years in the NFL playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. During that time, he was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year and earned six of his nine Pro Bowl nods there.

"After speaking with my family and members of the football operations team, we decided it was in our mutual interest for me to step away from the team," Woodson said in a statement. "I would like to thank everyone at the League and wish them continued success as they enter season two."
