Ken went to the Academy of Richmond County, located in his hometown, and after matriculation enrolled at Georgia Tech, where he played football as a tight end during his four years, and had his best season in his senior year when he caught 27 passes for 517 yards and scored three touchdowns. His performance that year earned him All-American selection.
Following college graduation, he declared for the 1985 NFL Draft, and was selected in the 12th round by the Atlanta Falcons. He stayed with Falcons until 1988 and scored five touchdowns, while also had 503 receiving yards out of 53 catches. After the Falcons, Ken joined the Washington Redskins, for which he played from 1990 to 1991, and then was sent to the New York Jets before retiring in 1992.
He started his coaching career in 1995 when he was appointed as the special teams, tight ends, and running backs coach of Vanderbilt University. After two successful seasons at Vanderbilt, he was appointed as the tight ends coach for the Baltimore Ravens, and started building his name in the NHL as the tight ends coach, being on the Cleveland Browns (1999), New York Jets (2000), and Pittsburgh Steelers (2001-2003) teams. In 2004 he was named as the offensive coordinator for the Steelers, and in 2005 won the Super Bowl as the Steelers dominated the Seahawks 21:10. He remained with the Steelers until 2007, when, thanks to his previous success, he was appointed as the head coach of the struggling Arizona Cardinals. His first season as the head coach, Ken finished with 50-50 success, and just missed out on the playoffs. However, in 2008 he led the Cardinals to the Super Bowl, the first in franchise history, and first home playoff game in 60 years. Unfortunately, the Cardinals lost to the Steelers in the finals. The following season was also the successful one as they had best regular season record with 10 wins and six lost games.
In the playoffs, they lost in the NFC Divisional game to the later champions, the New Orleans Saints. Since then, the Cardinals missed the play-offs in three consecutive seasons, and as a result Ken was fired from his position.
After his debut as a head coach, Ken returned to his duties as an offensive coordinator, being hired by the San Diego Chargers. A season prior to his unveiling as offensive coordinator, the Chargers were the 31st team in the league in total offense, and Ken managed to turn that around, as the franchise had the fifth best offense at the end of the season.
He was then again sought by NHL franchises as head coach, and he received offers from the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions and Tennessee Titans. He chose to sign with the Titans, which turned out to be a bad decision, as he finished his first season with an extremely negative score of just two wins and 14 losses. He remained their coach for the start of the second season, but the team performance didn’t improve, going 1-6 in the first seven games of the season, so Ken was fired and Mike Mularkey became interim head coach.
After the unsuccessful stint with the Titans, the Chargers brought him back as their offensive coordinator, but this time in Los Angeles, as the team moved to their old city.
Regarding his personal life, Ken is married to Alice with whom he has two children.
Aside from football, Ken is also a big fan of golf, and played professionally during 1993, his year away from football.

Tiger Woods Net Worth
Eldrick Tont “Tiger” Woods was born on 30 December 1975 in Cypress, California USA, of part-Chinese, and African- and Native- American (father) and Thai (mother) descent. He is one of the the world’s highest earning sportsmen, a professional golfer who was ranked number one in the world for a total of 545 weeks between in 1997 and 2010, and then for another 60 weeks in 2013-14, the most of any golfer, and during which period he won 119 tournaments on the PGA and European tours.
So just how rich is Tiger Woods? Regardless of the fact that Woods’ divorce from ex-wife Elin Nordegren (former Swedish model), cost him $100 million dollars – including $54.5 million in mortgage payment finalised in January 2016 – authoritative sources estimate that Tiger’s net worth is now still over $770 million, accumulated from golf prize money of around $160 million, and the rest from endorsements during a 20 year career, totalling overall more than $1.3 billion.
Tiger Woods Net Worth $770 Million
Encouraged by his father Earl, Tiger became a child golfing prodigy, already at the age of 3 putting against comedian Bob Hope. He was called on TV shows and published in Golf Digest magazine. He won age group events around the world from the age of eight, and being a 15 year-old teenager he became the youngest US Junior Amateur champion. He was educated at Western High School, Anaheim, but golf was his priority, and at 20 (1996), he became the first in golf history to win three consecutive US Amateur titles, while (apparently) studying at Stanford University.
Tiger then turned professional, and immediately signed multi-million dollar contracts with famous companies such as Nike and Titleist. Next year Woods won his first ‘major’, the US Masters, and achieved number one world ranking, the youngest and the fastest to get to that position. The list of his winnings is endless and achievements too many to mention, but apart from aforementioned 79 victories in the USA and Europe – only Sam Snead has won more(82) – he has won two Japan Golf Tour events, an Asian Tour event, one PGA Tour of Australasia event, as well as 21 titles as an amateur. Of particular significance is that Tiger has won 14 ‘major’ titles, second only behind Jack Nicklaus(18), which has included the ‘grand slam’ of golf three times. In addition, he had been awarded PGA Player of the year 11 times and the Byron Nelson award eight times. There can be no doubt that Tiger Woods has earned his net worth.
Woods is considered the most successful player of all times, partly because of his winning record, but also because he is the first and the only golfer to have earned more than a billion dollars. This fortune was made not only by playing golf, but also by signing very lucrative contracts with companies such as Rolex, General Motors, American Express, and Gatorade apart from Titleist and Nike, and becoming an ambassador for Gillette. Moreover, the businesses of Tiger Woods Foundation which promotes golf, and Tiger Woods Design which is involved with golf courses development, are also very profitable. The athlete is a published writer with “How I Play Golf” as well, which has brought him steady income from 1.5 million copies sold. He has also written a column for the magazine “Golf Digest’ – presumably both added to his net worth.
Following his very public divorce from Elin Nordegren who he married in 2004 – they divorced in 2010 and have two children – also involving details of infidelity over the years, Tiger Woods dated Olympic Games skiing gold medallist Lindsey Vonn for a couple of years, but apparently no more. He was raised a Buddhist, and professes to still follow the teachings.
