Ken Whisenhunt stepped down as head coach of the UFL’s Memphis Showboats on Wednesday.
He previously took a leave of absence in late March but had returned to the team, which is off to an 0-3 start.
“The time has come for me to step away from the game and take a break from football,” Whisenhunt said in a statement. “I am so grateful for my time with the players and wish them the best.”
Offensive line coach Jim Turner, who filled in as interim coach during Whisenhunt’s earlier absence, will resume that role for the remainder of the 2025 season.
Whisenhunt, 63, previously as head coach of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals (2007-12) and Tennessee Titans (2014-15).
He went 45-51 with the Cardinals and 3-20 with the Titans. His 2008 Arizona squad lost 27-23 in Super Bowl XLIII to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
