Spoiler Alert
I've had a little down time, and binged some season 4 (I think) of Friday Night Tykes and watched the 1st episode of the new Last Chance U........I'm entertained but depressed. I need to remind myself that it's entertainment, but I don't know. This is the image of our sport? The HC for Independence Community College on Lat Chance U, is a likeable enough guy but I can't understand how any publicly funded institution would not fire this guy, just on language alone. Maybe I'm getting old, but I'm embarrassed.

I’m on ep. 4 and me and my wife are enjoying it. He has bad language but he isn’t like Buddy where he is abusive towards the players.
edit: nevermind on the abusive to players thing

This is an influence on public opinion on the coaching profession and football, yet Fedora thinks losing these things will ruin the country?

Yes, I am having trouble finding any of the positive characteristics that many of us love about football, or sports in general, depicted in these shows. Spoiler Alert -This HC is at the very least involved in emotional manipulation essentially asking his player to reciprocate his love for them by playing better? It's a circus. And I'm sure all of our kids are watching it and some are thinking "this is what real football is like"...ugh.

This is a “not so serious” thread...please don’t ruin it I get that, and I understand the concepts of guilty pleasures and personal taste, but I am not sure how someone can enjoy programs designed to effectively make the sport and profession look that bad. I just think they are bad for the sport and the profession.

Started Episode 3. HC is a clown & the Henry kid from FSU is an olympic level D-bag.
The QB coach wearing his ray-bans to night games is my favorite storyline so far.

Time to revisit and possibly add to the d-bag coach thread. He says “I” more than any coach I have ever seen. “Mother phucker said I couldn’t coach!” After a big big win over GC. Fun fact- we sent a kid to Garden City and while they portray the GC coach as the Good guy, IMO. Our kid said he is the exact same as Buddy or Coach Brown

Our kid said he is the exact same as Buddy or Coach Brown I'm on episode 4, and in all fairness haven't seen him coach a damn thing. Who knows what gets cut out though.

You don’t have to coach if they believe in you according to him

I just don't understand how the IC coach still has a job based on language and behavior. I like him as a character and I respect that he has dealt with a bunch of adversity, but I don't understand how the President of the college could watch this and not fire him immediately. I guess I'm naive. But I hate that there are elementary and high school kids watching this and thinking this is normal behavior by the coaches or players.

I love that the show does not seem to have a filter. The audience gets all of it...the good, the bad, and the ugly. I give it a huge thumb's up for brutal honesty.

That was my initial thought about Buddy Stephens way back in the first season. But here's the thing...how many people didn't even know that EMCC and ICC were even a thing before the series? What's the old saying...there is no such thing as bad publicity?

I have to say that this wasn't the first time that I've heard a college coach say "phuk".

I have to say that this wasn't the first time that I've heard a college coach say "phuk". I was in the US Army. I heard “phuk” used as a noun, verb, adjective, etc, etc...sometimes all in the same sentence! 😂 It is an amazing word. Possibly the most flexible word in the entire English language.

The GC coach or ICC coach? GC. I don't dislike the ICC coach. He just strikes me as a slappy. I thought he really punked out on that post-game handshake.

I think the 2nd HC, Brown, is definitely more aware of the recruiting impact being on this show will have for him, where as Buddy was just totally unaware of how he was being perceived.

The injured kid...the center...Buckmanster? I like that kid a lot. Would definitely jump into a foxhole with that kid.
And that Scott kid? The RB? #28? Holy crap...if I had that kid, he would literally have 40 carries a game! 😂

"I WOULDA MADE THAT THROW"
"STEP UP IN THE POCKET LIKE I WOULD HAVE DONE"
