Coaching career
In 2019, Pardee was hired by East Texas A&M to be their wide receivers coach. [1]
In 2022, Pardee was hired by the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL to be their wide receivers coach under Wade Phillips. [2]
In 2023 during the merger of the XFL and the United States Football League, Pardee followed Phillips to the San Antonio Brahmas.
In April 2025, Pardee was promoted to offensive coordinator after A. J. Smith resigned. [3] Smith had later remarked that Pardee had won an internal power struggle in the Brahmas organization, one that had formed because of Wade Phillips's declining health and frequent absences from the team in the preseason. [4]
Just one week later on April 16, 2025, Pardee was named the team's interim head coach after Wade Phillips took a leave of absence, making him the youngest Head Coach in the modern era of professional football (excluding the player-coaches of the 1920s). [5] Pardee had technically taken over as interim head coach during his first game as offensive coordinator on April 13, after Phillips had suffered a medical emergency and left the game at halftime.
