Earlier this month, former Super Bowl MVP Kurt Warner played an April Fools' prank on the social mediaverse, tweeting that an NFL team had approached the 43-year-old former QB for a private workout.

But this latest career move appears to be no joke.

The Super Bowl champion and four-time Pro Bowler has been hired to be the new offensive coordinator for the Scottsdale Desert Mountain high school football team in Arizona, AZCentral Sports reports. Warner is working as an unpaid volunteer.

Warner's son Kade is a junior receiver/linebacker for the Desert Mountain Wolves.

"To be able to share expertise, something that I've done for years, and to be able to help them, to succeed, that's where it starts," Warner told AZCentral. "But I think ... the better part of it, football has taught me so much about how to be a man, it's taught me about character, it's taught me about highs and lows of life. ... I think this gives me a great opportunity as a father to help teach my son some of those lessons but also as a coach to to be able to teach all these young kids what life's all about."
