He has been on more
talk shows and dot come

than anyone in recent memory,

a man who single-handedly
put Texas back on the map.

Please join me in welcoming
Coach Stan the Man.

Thanks for having me.

Of course.

So, Coach, the question on
everybody's mind tonight,

I think, is about
the upcoming game.

Yeah.

Good question, easy answer.

We're number one,
we're gonna win.

Boom, boom, boom. Done!

Next.

Now, Coach,

some people are talking
about a championship

for next season.

Yeah, I mean, it was a good
thing that we won the division

and it tells us we're going

in that right
direction, but, uh,

it's a little premature to talk
about the future right now.

A lot of people, including
many of our viewers,

were upset when the
owners chose you

over defensive
coordinator Sean Martin.

-Yeah.
-But I have to admit,

you sure proved 'em wrong.

Well, that's what I like to do.

I like to prove people wrong.

That's why I'm Stan the Man.

Today on "Coffee with Jill,"

we have Stan the Man here.

-All right.
-Stan's here to show me

how to hold the ball.

Look, I, I'm a big
fan of Coach Martin.

You know, I appreciate
what he did,

and so therefore I,

I gave him the defense
coordinator position,

and he's doing a good
job bringing us up

to that fourth quarter.

And I, I'm, I'm really proud
of him, but, you know, hey,

that's the way it is.

Hey, folks, welcome to
a very special edition

of "The End Zone."

I wanna welcome my
friend Stan the Man.

Yeah.

Stan, it has been far too
long trying to get you in here.

I believe I've been
upwards of three years

trying to get you in that seat,

so thank you so much for coming.

Oh, not a problem.

My pleasure to be here.

-Okay.
-So, you try that,

try that.

-All right.
-All right.

-Another day.
-Ano-

For now, what our viewers
really wanna know, Stan, is:

what do those locker
rooms smell like.

Well, I'll tell you
what, they smell like hell.

I've-I believe it.

I've been there a
few times, you know,

had a few drinks, but-

Okay. Okay.

But, yeah, no,

don't ever go to
those locker rooms.

It's, it's not healthy for you.

What's in store for Coach Stan?

I don't know, man.

I'm thinking I might be
sticking around Texas

for a little bit longer.

So maybe I better buy
a house or something.

There you go.

And I feel like the only thing

that is missing on your resume

from all the top
coaches is a scandal.

Any scandals coming
out soon or you,

you playing straight
all the way?

Well, I try to keep
my nose clean, you know?

-Yeah.
-Keep outta trouble.

But, you know, I'm all
about the game, you know?

I keep focused
like a laser beam.

I like that.

I like that.

Let's hear it
for the West Texas Oilers!

-Let's go!
-Go, go, go, go!

All right, all right. Come on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on!

-Come on. Come on.
-Go, baby! Game time!

Yeah. All right.

All right.

Hey, aren't you Stan the Man?

- Yeah, yeah, what do you-
- Can I get your autograph?

Yeah. There you go.

What are you
doing back here anyways?

Shouldn't you be on the field?

Oh, don't...

Mind your own business
and just get, get going.

Got your autograph. Come on.

You better hurry up or
you're gonna miss the game.

Yeah, yeah.

Everyone's got their opinion.

Don't sell that on eBay.

The Rangers down by four

with just two
minutes on the clock.

Set! Hut!

All right, Jesse. Jesse!

All right, son.

Here's your chance to
earn that varsity letter.

Blue 21 dive, left green.

All right. You got that?

-Yeah.
-All right, now get in there

and show me what you can do.

Lord, a little help
right now wouldn't hurt.

I'm very proud the way the
team is going with the defense

and everything.

Hey. Come on.

Time out. Time out.

Come on.

Hey.

What we need right
now is a touchdown.

18 right, 4 set, 32 across.

Look up for safety

and get that ball in
the end zone, all right?

Once opening the end zone,

ill get it to him, all right?

No, no!

Do as I tell you to do

or else you're gonna
find yourself traded!

Hey, lighten up, Coach.

Understand? Come on!

I'll do my best.

What are you looking at?

Come on. Play this game.

Do what you're supposed to do!

Huddle!

What's wrong with coach?

Don't worry about it.

Okay, let's do this.

18 right, 4 set, 42
cross on three, okay?

It's been a great year, fellows.

Let's keep it going.

Ready? Break.

What the hell?

Come on.

What are you doing out there.

Need you off the field.

What are doing out there?

Coach, need you off the field.

Nah!

Coach.

Play the game.

Coach. Come on.

Man, get out of my way.

I don't what's going
on with Coach Stan,

but he better stay away
from the spiked punch.

If I didn't know better,

I'd swear he was having
martinis during halftime.

Well, if Texas can't pull
it off with this play,

I think it's safe to say

that Coach Stan's
time with the team

is gonna come to a sad end.

What are y'all looking?

Right 17!

Left 17!

Hut, hut. Hut!

Damn it!

Whoo! Whoo!

Whoo-hoo!

One more
play here four Greenwood.

Still down by four.

Set! Hut!

Oh!

Boo!

You looked pretty good
out there tonight, kid.

Coach, what are
you talking about?

I, I, I dropped the pass that
could have won us a game.

Yeah, but you caught 11
balls in a row before that.

That's more than anybody else

in this school's
65-year history.

Start a collection with this.

I got a funny feeling

you're gonna be getting
a lot more of those

down the road.

Thanks, Coach.

-Congrats.
-I got all of it.

Coach, you all right?

Look, you lost us the game!

I did?

You should have run
the play I told you to.

You are the quarterback!

Oh, yeah?

Well, no one would
know you're the coach

the way you're stumbling
around over here.

You heard me.

Hey, you heard me, Coach.

Come on Coach.

-Relax, Coach.
-I'm fine.

-Relax.
-I'm fine.

-Coach, come on.
-I'm fine.

Come on Coach.

Hey, hey.

Stan?

Coach, come on.

What's wrong with you?

You good, bro?

You good?

How can you do that, man?

That's unacceptable.

You blowin' it. You blowin' it.

Leave me alone.

What are you doing?

Leave me alone.

That has got to be the
worst display of sportsmanship

I have ever witnessed.

Yeah, you've got that right?

That's why they don't put
bars in the locker room.

Well, that is unless
you're Coach Stan.

Jill, what are you
hearing down on the field?

Yeah, I'm hearing
that Jeff Hayfield

has suffered a
displaced broken jaw

that will require
immediate surgery

and will probably take him out

for the majority of next season.

Stan the Man has
refused to comment,

making this a sad day
here in West Texas.

Back to you in the studio.

If he doesn't lose his
coaching job over this,

I'll be shocked.

Well, if I was league president,

I'd have him attend AA in the
locker room during halftime

before I'd ever let him
take the field again.

I think you could take his
Rookie Coach of the Year award

and just throw it
right out the window.

What do you mean?

Well, his contract is
up with Texas this year.

I don't think there's a team
stupid enough to hire him

to be their coach next season.

Yeah, you may
very well be right.

We could have seen the last

of the not-so-great
Coach Stan the Man.

I don't wanna hear anything.

Just take me somewhere
where I can get a drink.

No, I'm gonna take you home.

And then I have
to go pick up Abby

who's staying at
a friend's house

because I didn't want her
seeing her father in jail.

If Jeff only did
what I told him to do,

this wouldn't be
happening right now.

We'd be out there celebrating.

Coach, I'm a huge fan of yours.

Can I take a
photograph with you?

I can't.

-Coach.
-Come on.

-Let's get outta here.
-Coach.

God-

Head coaching
of the West Texas Oilers.

-This is unbelievable.
-He likely will not hold

any coaching position-

-You're unbelievable.
-In professional football

after assaulting his
quarterback Jeff Hayfield.

He got what he deserved.

He, he completely
screwed the whole game.

Blaming your quarterback

isn't gonna make your
problems go away.

Problems? What are you
talking about my problems?

I don't have any problem.

Prove it. Don't go
to the bar tonight.

Stay home.

I bet you can't go 24
hours without a drink.

Oh, yeah? What's the bet then?

If you can't go 24
hours without a drink,

you go get help.

When I win?

If you win,

I'll stop bugging you

about gonna my charity
events with me.

You may not like them,

but at least Coach Martin

and the other
coaches get involved.

He's into all that?

All right.

Well, you're gonna look
pretty stupid when you lose.

You're going down.

I ain't got no problem.

Stan.

Stan!

I can't believe you!

What do you want now?

You can't even go
15 minutes without a drink.

You need help.

Why don't just leave me alone?

Just go pick up Abby.

Gimme the booze, all of it.

Just give the booze.

Oh. I, I'm sorry.

I, I, I didn't mean to do that.

I can't live like this.

If you can't get
help, we're done.

Oh, yeah?

Well, you'll be back.

You need me?

Everybody needs me, yeah,

'cause I'm Stan he Man.

Everybody needs me.

Everybody needs me.

Hey. Be cool, all right?

Don't say or do anything stupid

and you're gonna get probation.

Okay.

Judge is a big fan of yours.

Let's just get this thing
over and done with it.

All right. Lemme do.

Just, uh, gimme
a minute, will you?

Yeah, sure.

I'll deal with the reporters.

Oh, not right now.

-Mr. Eckles.
-I'm sorry.

He will not be going to jail.

-Oh, here we go.
-Stan!

Stan, do you have-All right.

-All right. Just stay back.
-A history of violence?

-Just stay back.
-Stan, are you intoxicated

-now?
-Keep walking. Keep walking.

-Here we go. Here we go.
-Stan, have you spoken

with Jeff Hayfield.

He'll answer your
questions later.

Number one.

-Thank you.
-He'll answer

-your questions later.
-Stan, have you heard

-from management?
-All right.

-Management. Come on.
-All right, keep walking.

-Here we go.
-How you doing, sir?

-Autographs later.
-There you go.

-Thank you so much.
-Number one.

Thank you so much.

-Here we go.
-All right.

Okay, Stan,

I'm gonna need you
to sign right here.

Bloody, bloody blah.

Man, I shouldn't even be here.

This is ridiculous.

-Hey.
-Mi-

Hey, knock it off.

Is there a problem with
your client, Mr. Eckles?

No, sir, Your Honor.

Very well then.

We'll conclude this case.

Uh, Your Honor, uh,

can I say something
to the court,

-if that's okay?
-Hey, shut up.

You'll only screw this up.

-Hey.
-Mr. Eckles,

if your client wishes
to address the court,

I will allow it.

Thank you. You hear that?

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Well, I'd just like
to say, Your Honor,

that if that quarterback had
done what I told him to do

and played that game the
way I told him to play,

then I wouldn't have
had to punch him

in this stupid, little,
ugly face.

So clearly I am innocent.

Have you been drinking
in my courtroom?

Well, that's a,

it's a really important question

you bring up there, Your Honor.

I mean, I would never drink
in your courtroom, but, uh,

in the limo before
I came in here,

I might have had a few.

I was gonna give you probation-

Uh-huh.

In light of Jeff
Hayfield's request

that I go easy on you.

However, I'm gonna
give you a choice.

Okay. All right.

Well, what's the choice?

Either 90 days in jail

or 30 days in an alcohol
treatment program.

Right.

Well, Your Honor, sorry to
burst your bubble here, but I,

I don't have a drinking problem.

Look, I'm straight as a judge.

That's a joke for you.

So, uh, I guess, I
guess it's jail for me.

I hear they have bars in jail-

-Bailiff.
-So I should be fine.

Place Mr.
Jacobs into custody.

-Mike, it's a joke.
-Stan, just take

-the treatment.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, easy, fellow.

Don't you wanna buy
me dinner first?

You don't...

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

These aren't mine.

I mean, I don't know
where they came...

I must have got 'em at
the gift shop.

Oh, that one there, Judge,

that's for you.

I won't tell anybody.

You look like you
can do with a drink.

Ooh. Tough crowd.

There ain't one single
person in this town

who's happy with the
outcome of that game.

They were halfway asleep
during that whole second half.

If Jesse could just
hold onto the ball,

we'd be in the
playoffs right now

for the first time in
Christian Academy history.

Yeah.

But that boy just doesn't
listen like he should.

Sometimes I swear
he's slow in the head.

Dad, I need to go home.

Ooh, speaking butter fingers.

What do you want?

I need to get home.

Come on, Larry.

That's no way to treat your boy.

Hell, he ain't even mine.

He's my wife's from
her first marriage.

Still.

Larry, why don't you
work with the boy?

Teach him the game
like you used to play.

Yeah, you were
something back then.

Of course, you're old
and fat now.

I bet you couldn't run 15 feet

without passing out.

What are you talking about?

-Huh?
-Hey, Dad, come on.

Dad!

God!

I'm walking home.

What the hell?

I was just pulling
your leg, Larry.

Come on.

Let me buy you another drink.

Better make it
more than one drink.

I love you too, Pigtails.

Mom said that can come out early

if you go to this
thing called AA.

Your, your mom's
a little confused.

I, I mean, AA is for
people with a problem.

I, I don't have a problem.

Well, Mom says it's a
problem when you do things

that hurt people
who care about you.

Yeah. Your mom's confused.

Uh, uh, I mean, what happened
was an accident, you know?

Uh, uh, it's not
gonna happen again.

Uh, can you, uh, can you,
can you put your mom on?

Dad wants to talk to you.

Abby, baby, will you go in
the other room for a minute?

Mm-hmm.

Stan?

What kind of crap are
you telling my daughter?

I'm not telling her anything.

She's smart and she can
see what's going on, Stan.

Look, what happened
was an accident.

I said sorry.

When are you gonna
stop making excuses

for your alcohol problem?

I can't live like this anymore.

I don't have a problem.

What are you, what
are you talking about?

Either you get help
and stop drinking

or I'm leaving you.

Oh, yeah?

You're leaving me?

I'd like to see you try.

You know, you're nothing
more than a team tramp

that overstayed her welcome.

Good luck living
life on your own.

I want you to know
that what I'm doing

is because I once loved you.

You lied. You don't love me.

Why are you here?

Sit down, Stan.

I got a lot to go over with you.

What about?
Sarah?

Okay. We can start
with her first.

First, I wanna say, buddy,

you're an idiot
if you let her go.

I didn't leave
or let her go, man.

She left me.

And I didn't leave her,
no, the other way around.

Okay. It's your life.

You're allowed a crap
on it if you want,

but this is stupid.

Just do the treatment all.

Man. No further lectures.

All right. What does she want?

Surprisingly, very little.

She wants to make sure
that Abby's taken care of.

And, um, she's already
signed her portion

of the divorce papers,

but don't sign it now.

Why not?

Because I wanna leave
it with you for a few days

and just want you
to think about it

and come to your senses

and tear the whole thing up.

Done.

Stan, how long have I known you?

Since college, about 20 years.

Mm.

So, being friends that long
gives me the right to say

what I'm about to say.

Buddy, you need help.

Not you, Mike. Come on.

Stan, you're an alcoholic.

You drink from the
time you get up

to the time you go to bed.

The nurses in here,

they told me they treat
you with three times

the normal dose of Librium.

Just 'cause I like to drink

doesn't make me an alcoholic.

It does if it affects
your family and your job.

What about my job?

I can still get another job
with another team, right?

The league met earlier today.

They,

they think it's better
if you're not around.

You're barred from ever coaching

professional football again.

Ah! Damn it!

I'm Stan the Man!

The can't do that to me!

They can't do that to me.

I'm sorry.

I gotta go, uh, and pick
up the kids at school.

Hey, buddy.

You gonna be okay?

Yeah. I'm gonna be just fine.

I'm Stan the Man.

I'll, I'll bounce back.

I'm fine.

Hey, Kalissa.

-Yeah.
-May I talk to you

for a minute?

Sure, Sam. Just gimme a sec.

Hey, class, please take your
notes out from yesterday.

We're gonna have a quiz.

I'm not gonna take
much of your time.

Uh, just wanted you to
be the first to know

what the results are for the
9th grade proficiency test.

Wow. Really?

'Cause I wasn't
expecting them back

for another two weeks or so.

Just wanna thank
you for leading us

to the second highest score
in state history.

Yeah, take a look.

Wow.

Honestly, everyone deserves
the credit, not just me.

They all worked so hard,

especially the kids.

Well, I want you to
know I'm so proud of you-

Mm.

Just knowing the
woman that you've become

is a living example
of what God can do.

Thank you.

Uh, gotta go.

Excuse me, sir.

What's this?

It's nothing, Mr. Andrews.

Let's go to my office and talk.

Please, just, just
let it go, okay?

I, I promise it won't
happen again, all right?

I just, I can't miss this class.

I mean, if I do,

I can't get a scholarship
with a B average.

Go to class. We'll talk later.

Thanks, Mr. Andrews.

Hey,

you're Stan the Man.

I know you.

Uh, can you spare a
dollar for an old friend?

There you go.

Coins?

For real?

Come on.

Damn it.

Hello. Stan the Man here.

I was just calling to make sure

that you don't forget your
promise that you made to Abby.

You promised to take her
shopping for school clothes.

Yeah. I, I haven't
forgotten, okay?

Uh, I've, I've been looking
forward to this all day.

Whatever you do, Stan,

please don't screw this up.

You'll break her heart.

I- is she there?

Can I, can I talk to her?

It's your daddy.

Hi, Daddy. I miss you.

I miss you two, Pigtails.

Are you coming
to pick me up soon?

Yeah. I, I'm gonna
be there in an hour.

Um...

You know, you know,
I, I love you, Abby.

I know. I love you too.

So hurry up so we
can have some fun.

Okay.

Oh.

Oh, Stan the Man here.

Wingate University, yeah.

Thanks for calling me back.

I am sorry to inform you

we don't need football coach.

What do you mean you
don't need a football coach?

I mean, who better
to train your team

than a professional
football coach like me?

Look, I'm sorry.

Screw you. Enjoy
your losing streak!

Don't need a football coach.

Wingate, a bunch of losers.

Yeah.

Don't need a
football coach, huh?

Don't worry.

Uh...

You don't...

Man.

It's fine.

Just a couple...

Just a, a couple...

Whoops.

All right, come on.

Come on.

Honey, why don't
you go to your room?

But, Mom, Dad finally came.

Can I go?

Sorry, honey.

I don't think he's feeling
well enough to take you.

Hey, why don't we go
watch a movie, Abby,

that way your mom and dad
can talk about some things.

Come on.

You're drunk

-and you're late.
-Oh, whoa.

Oh, I ain't drunk.

I might have had a few drinks
before I came here, but, look,

I'm sober as a judge?

Come on. Where's Abby?

Bring her out here. We're
gonna have a good time.

Abby isn't going
anywhere with you.

Oh, come on.

We're not doing this again.

What?

Look, I know you
stopped loving me

the minute you climbed
into that bottle,

but you could at least try
to be a father to Abby.

I love my daughter.

You don't even know her!

Oh, come on. I know Abby.

What are you talking about?

You don't even remember
her birthday, Stan.

Her birthday. Come on.

Gimme something-Stan.

Harder than that.

You can't keep doing
this to yourself.

Oh, James, what
are you doing here?

I'm gonna have to take you in.

Oh.

It's too late for us, Stan,

but it is not too
late for your daughter

-to lose her too.
-Come on.

This is ridiculous.

-Oh, geez.
-Get some help, Stan,

-before it kills you.
-Yeah.

Man, I thought we're friends.

I'm sorry, Abby.

This won't happen again.

The judge has sentenced me

to a alcohol
rehabilitation center.

I, I, I'm gonna get
this thing right, okay?

I, I, I know you will, Daddy.

I believe you.

But Mama doesn't, she,

she thinks you're gonna
screw it up again.

Yeah, she would say that.

But, uh,

I'm doing this
for you, Pigtails.

I know, but, but do
it for you too, Daddy.

Yeah.

Look, uh, I gotta get going.

Um, I'll see you soon, okay?

I love you.

I love you too.

I remember being nine

and I'd carry a paper
sack full of drugs

from one house to another

just because I was a little kid

and they wouldn't look at me.

But I know that if it wasn't
for Jesus, you know, my-

Oh, hey.

Wanna come join us?

Um, no. It's good.

Well, I know they
wouldn't look at me.

And if it wasn't for Him...

I, I'm here 'cause
of my bad decisions,

but I'm alive because
of Christ, you know?

So, that's my story.

What do you want, Stan?

I'm here to see
Abby. Is she home?

You can't just show up, Stan.

There's a court order.

Yeah, I know,

but it's just A-
Abby's the only thing

that got me through treatment.

Just, just let me see her just,

just for a minute.

I'm sorry. I can't trust you.

Oh, come on.

Listen, I need to
tell you something,

and I know the timing
of this is terrible,

but I've been seeing
Martin for a while.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You were cheating on me?

I was faithful
while we were married.

It just happened.

You needed your booze
more than you needed me.

And-

-Oh, my God.
-You weren't there for me.

Is everything okay, Sarah?

Wh-what are
you doing here, Martin?

I'm married to Sarah now.

So you two were fooling
around and got married

whilst I was in treatment?

No, I s-you signed the
divorce papers 11 months ago.

I'm not your wife anymore.

So you were cheating
on me with Martin

whilst we were married?

No, Stan. That happened
after Sarah left you.

It wasn't planned.

Ah, screw the both of you!

Gee.

Man.

What are you doing here?

Dude, you haven't
paid your bills

in a really long time.

If you don't make
this house payment,

you are gonna lose your house.

Nice to see you too.

Now you can leave.

Stan, how long are
you gonna do this for?

Hmm?

Do what? Hmm?

Kill yourself with
alcohol poisoning.

Yeah.

Well, I lost Abby,

I lost Sarah,

I might as well just
lose it all.

All right. Come
on, man, get up.

-Go back to treatment.
-Get off me!

You ain't my friend.

You just some lawyer
trying to leach off me.

There's the door.
Just get outta here!

Go!

Okay, Stan.

I love you, bud.

You're my friend, but at some
point I gotta cut my losses.

Yeah.

Then why are you still here?

Just get out.

Oh, man. This
is what you want.

I'm not gonna stand in your way.

I'm not gonna stay around here

and watch you destroy your life.

Good bye.

Yeah.

Shitty lawyer. He
ain't my friend.

Yeah, I'm Stan the Man.

I don't, I, I don't,
I don't need nobody.

Oh, come on.

What the...

Oh, come on.

You're kidding me!

St. Mary's isn't gonna be
messing around out there.

We've gotta keep
pressure in their face!

Now, I want you guys
to get out there

and I want you...

Walter?

-Oh, oh.
-Walter.

Oh, my god. Ah, let's
get you over here.

Let's get...

Boys,

-so-somebody call 911.
-Oh, God. Oh, God.

-Oh, oh.
-Walter, it's okay.

It's okay.

Well, Gary, you're
the new head coach

until we find out what's
happening with Walter.

I'm sure he'll
feel better tomorrow.

Samuel, I stink is a coach.

You know that, the
players know that.

They could probably coach
better than I could.

I just, I'm just here
for the requirements

of my master's program.

I'm sorry.

God, I pray Walter's okay.

Hmm.

Johnson?

Yeah.

How are you at football?

You know I only
played basketball.

Why do you ask?

I thought you heard already.

Heard what?

Walter had a heart
attack yesterday.

He's gonna miss half the season.

Sorry to hear that.

I'll add him to my prayer list.

But as for me coaching his team?

No, sir.

Coaching the basketball team

is about all I can
handle right now.

Yeah.

I get it. I get it.

Man.

Hello, everyone. Welcome.

Come on in.

Welcome, everyone.

Today we have some hot soup

and some bread.

Come on down.

Ma'am, can I help you?

Is it okay if we pray together?

Thank you.

Sir?

Mm-hmm.

What do you have there?

Uh, I ain't got nothing.

-Really?
-What's for dinner?

All right.

I saw the flask.

You either give it to
me or you have to leave.

Eh, I haven't even
got my food yet.

Hmm. Looks good.

Lose the flask-

-Whoa.
-Or get out now.

Man. Okay.

You know what?

The food sucks here anyway.

Hey, I know you.

Mm-hmm.

I saw you somewhere before.

Everybody know me.

Get out my way. Come on.

Get out my way.

Sir, please.

Oh, it's such a shame
he lets his addiction

take over his life like that.

I know where I've
seen that guy before.

Where?

That was Stan the Man,

the old Texas coach.

Tell me this.

What are the chances he's here

right when we just
happen to need a coach?

Sure he's down and out,
but he is a good coach.

You are still looking
for a head coach, right?

You're kidding, right?

I'm just saying.

He was something
back in the day.

Sounds like divine
intervention to me.

Better not let him get away.

He's gonna be some hard work.

I'm sure he is
not as bad as I was.

And you had your
hands full with me too.

And look what you did for me.

You saved me.

You too.

Lord, is it ever gonna be easy?

God.

Stan? Is that you?

Hey, Stan!

-Oh.
-It is you.

Yeah.

You're the, uh,
strengthening coach, right?

Yeah, right.

Hey, man, I'm sorry to hear
about all your bad luck.

I bet you're, uh,

really bummed about Martin

getting your old coaching job.

Wh-when did this happen?

Oh, man. Sorry.

I thought you knew, dude.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, no, I gotta go, but, hey,

it's good to see you.

Yeah.

Oh, I never liked that guy.

Shit.

Stan.

Stan the Man, anybody know him?

Thank you.

I guess this will do.

Stan. Stan the Man.

Yeah, just leave me alone.

I don't wanna-
Just wanna talk, okay?

If this is about the
soup kitchen incident, I,

I don't wanna talk
to you about that.

I just, no.

No, I'm just here
to offer you a job.

Job?

Yeah, well, sometimes
we think that, uh,

all hope is lost,

but it isn't.

Yeah. I, I, I
wasn't gonna jump.

I, I dropped my bottle and I
was trying to get it, but...

Why don't you come on
over here and we'll talk.

Yeah, all right.

All right, so what's
this job about?

Starting new things.

Oh, yeah?

Well, it must be a pretty
small college because I,

I called all the major
ones and, you know, I...

I don't know. Wha-
what's the name of?

It's not a college.

It's a high school.

High school?

High, you're talking about
high school football?

-Yeah.
-You're kidding me, right?

Who, who, who are you?

What's your name?

-Principal Andrews.
-All right.

Well, now there'll
be some stipulations

and rules you have to follow.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Stipulations and rules.

You know I'm a professional
football coach?

Oh, really?

Yeah.

What's the name of your team?

Well, uh...

Yeah, uh...

Yeah, uh, uh, you got me there.

Uh...

Okay. Uh, what, what, what
are these stipulations?

Well, you'll have to,
uh, give up drinking,

agree to be monitored.

And, I mean, you have to
make it to work on time.

And it's only a
temporary position

until Walter gets
back on his feet.

And you'll be paid
$2,000 a month.

$2,000 a month?

I used to spend $2,000 a
week on booze just alone.

Well, now that you
won't be drinking,

you'll have plenty
of money to save.

Yeah. All right.

Okay, uh, uh,
where's this school?

Uh...

Why don't follow me
back to the soup kitchen?

Uh, yeah, I-

We'll use my car.

I don't wanna go back there.

The, the lady
there threw me out.

She don't like me.

That lady back there
is the one who told me

to give you a chance.

Oh, yeah? She did?

Is she kind of, some kind
of model or something,

slummin' it out of
the soup kitchen,

trying to get some
free publicity?

Well, um, you'll have to
ask her to tell you her story.

I think I will.

If she'll share it with you.

Oh, I'm sure she will.

Model.

All right.

So, what do you think?

Yeah, it's a high
school, all right.

But, uh, most important
thing right now is:

When do I get paid?

In two weeks.

It'll be at the state
minimum for teachers.

Teachers? I, I
ain't no teacher.

But Walter taught
physical education and gym.

Oh.

You've got to brush up
on your people skills.

Be in the gym tomorrow, 7:30 AM.

You said, uh, 11:30?

No, 7:30 AM.

And there'll be no more
drinking or else the deal's off.

And no paycheck.

High school football, man.

Really hit it an all,
all-time low now.

Well, just think of it
as your first step back,

getting up back on your feet.

Besides, the kids are growing.

Oh, man.

I need a drink.

And for now, you can
use the old lockers.

We're gonna be converting them

to classrooms over the summer,

but nobody's using them now,

so it's all good.

Dude, is that you?

Daily bathing is gonna be
required to keep this job.

Okay. Um, I haven't eaten
anything for a few days.

Uh, could you
maybe spot me a 20?

I'll see what I can do

to get you an
advance on the check.

But no alcohol.

I wouldn't dream of it.

Thank you. Thank you.

I'll pay you back.

Just these.

All right. Got it.

Anything else?

Yeah, the, uh, the
whiskey over there.

Yeah.

- No, uh, the, the big-
- The big one?

-Yeah.
-Okay. Sure.

There you go.

Um, it's, it's fine.

I, I, I,

I'll just-All right.

I'll just grab some
of these candy bars.

All right.

All right. I need change.

There we go.

Have a good day.

What do y'all want?

You are our coach?

Yeah, I guess I am,

till I get a paycheck.

Shouldn't you, like, be
coaching us or something?

Yeah. Don't you wanna
tell us something to do?

Like, run some plays?

Mm. Okay.

You wanna run? Okay.

How about you knuckleheads,
who are pretty outta shape,

gimme 10 laps and then
we'll start practice?

Now you knuckleheads!

Run! Run!

Run!

You're not supposed to
talk to them like that.

It lowers their self-esteem.

Good running, boys.

Who are you?

Oh, I, I'm Gary.

Uh, I was the assistant
coach and then the head coach

and now I'm the assistant again.

Yeah. Gimme the whistle.

Yeah, of course.

You are the head coach now.

Mm-hmm.

Wow.

All right, then.

Let's see what we got here.

Defense, where you at?

All right. Defense,
take the field.

I want you to get those hands
in their faces, all right?

Quarterbacks. Who
are my quarterbacks?

All right, then.

I want you to hit
those hash marks there.

Throw some balls to the
receivers and running backs.

All right.

Keep going, keep going.

We're gonna run a couple of 10,
15-yard patterns, all right?

Man.

Hey, who threw that?

Gimme another lap.

Everyone else, back to work.

Man.

Hi, I'm Stan.

I don't think we officially
met the other day

when you threw me,

threw me outta
that soup kitchen.

Hey. Yeah.

I'm Kalissa.

I'm one of the general
education teachers

here at the high school.

-All right. All right.
-Yeah.

The kids, they seem
to be really excited

to be working with you.

Yeah, that makes
me feel all warm

and fuzzy inside.

-Whoa.
-Whoa, sorry about that.

Oh, wow.

Where'd you learn
to kick like that?

Ah, I used to play soccer.

Yeah, I also had three
brothers in college

who were kickers,

-so yeah.
-That's, uh,

that's impressive.

Um, look, I was, uh,

I was hoping maybe I could
ask you out sometime.

How do you feel about that?

Yeah, Stan, uh, I'm sorry,

I just, I don't date-

Football coaches? Huh?

Not exactly.

Uh, you know, men who are
still feeding their addiction.

Addiction? What do
you mean addiction?

I, I don't, I don't know
what you're talking about.

I was at the soup
kitchen, remember?

I know you're an alcoholic.

Wow. I wouldn't
call myself that.

Uh, I mean, what do you
know about addiction?

I got a few stories.

Oh, really?

Well, I'd like to hear
some of those stories.

Maybe we could share some
stories over coffee, huh?

How does that sound?

Mm, I don't know.

Oh, come on.

Just coffee.

Oh, fine.

Yes!

But, but don't
think for a second

that this is gonna be a date.

Okay, okay.

-I never imagined that at all.
-Okay, good.

Sounds good.

Uh, uh, a little slight,
uh, issue is that I,

I don't currently
have a car right now,

so I may need you
to give me a ride.

Pick you up at 7:30.

And, uh, I'm also, uh,

kinda in between
houses and stuff.

I'm just staying at the
locker room at the moment.

I know, Stan.

Temporary.

Hey!

You gotta catch the ball
with your hands, stupid,

not your body.

Hey, what's
going on here, buddy?

That's my son.

-Mm-hmm.
-I'm gonna teach him

how to be a receiver.

I can't have you
drinking on my field.

So what?

You're the only one that
gets to drink on this field?

Look, you gotta get rid of that

or else I gotta kick you off.

I'm going to kick your
sorry up and down this field.

All right.

To me, boy!

-Come on. Relax, Coach.
-I'm fine.

-Relax.
-I'm fine.

-You blowing it, man.
-Come on.

What are you doing?

Come on.

-This isn't over.
-Stop. Stop.

Come on.

Wow.

I can't believe you could
ever have been addicted

to anything.

Yeah, well, addiction
affects everyone the same.

Man, woman, old, young,

it doesn't matter, really.

Yeah. So, what
were you addicted to?

Cocaine.

Oh.

That was my drug of choice,

my personal escape.

Wow. Well, I, I never
really did the drugs.

So what?

That makes your addiction
more acceptable?

No, no. I, I didn't mean that.

I, I just meant that
I never did drugs.

But if I did, man,

I would have been
right there with you

doing all that cocaine
and stuff.

You know, alcohol's a drug.

It affects brain chemistry

same way that cocaine
and heroin do.

You become dependent on it.

Yeah, I,

I struggle to go
just a couple of days

without needing a drink.

I, I, I, I don't
know how you do it.

No, I get it.

But, yeah, it's been a
little over six years now.

Wow.

Six. That's amazing.

Uh, so, uh,

what kind of treatment
or program did you do?

It wasn't just the
treatment program.

It took something a
lot stronger than that:

Jesus.

Oh, okay.

Love the, love the
Christmas Jesus.

It's a little more than a
holiday or a season.

Um, Jesus, Jesus
is always with you.

He's gonna be the one to give
you the strength that you need

when you're all on your own

and you cannot
resist temptation.

Well, I'm glad
that worked for you.

But I think I've,

I think I've got
a handle on this.

I'm gonna knocking
it on the head.

Hmm. Yeah?

Then why haven't
you stopped already?

Yeah.

Ooh, it's getting
a little, a little,

a little depressing here.

Uh, how about a
change of subject.

When are you gonna
lemme take you out

on a real date?

You're not ready.

Not ready? What do
you mean I'm not ready?

I'm Stan the Man,
I'm always ready.

Stan,

when you honestly deal
with your addiction

and you're on your
way to recovery,

that's when you'll be ready.

But until then,
honestly, right now,

you are just a little
too messed up for anyone.

Right.

You sound like my ex-wife.

Maybe if you had listened to
her, you'd still be married.

Well, I think that's it for me.

It's probably too much coffee.

I should-
Hang on. I'm sorry.

I, I, I don't know
why I said that.

Stan-That's okay.

I like you, I really do,

but you need to
commit to change.

I'm gonna get, uh...

Uh...

Look, I, I'll make
that up to you.

-Mm-hmm.
-Dinner as friends-

-Yeah.
-Until we're ready

for the real date.

And when I get paid too,
so might be a while.

-Uh, I'm sorry.
-We're good.

We're good.

Disgraced former pro football
coach Stan the Man Jacobs,

who was sidelined by
controversy a few years ago,

has stormed back into the news,

but this time as the head coach

of Greenwood Christian Academy,

who have come out of nowhere

to steamroll the top two
teams in the district.

The underdog Rangers defeated
Sweetwater High 21 to 13

with a tremendous
effort from the defense

and a relentless passing game.

Pecos High fared no better

as Greenwood rushed
for over 250 yards,

securing back-to-back
wins for Stan the Man.

Ooh, look at what we got.

A drunk pretending to
be a coach.

Let's get him in here
and have some fun?

Yeah?

What do you want?

I just came out because
I wanna buy you a drink,

show you there ain't
no hard feelings

about what happened on
the field the other day.

I'm fine. I'm trying to quit.

Well, it's not like
he's asking you to come in

and get drunk with us.

Just come in for one beer.

Look, we're all fans and
supporters of the school.

We just wanna get to
know our new coach's.

That's right?

Yeah. Okay.

Uh, just, just one drink, uh,

then I gotta get going.

I'm meeting someone for dinner.

Just one.

All right. Okay.

Oh, man.

Now we're even.

Coach? You okay?

Oh, my head is killing me.

What happened?

How did I get here?

Looks like you
were getting drunk,

maybe even got into a fight.

Oh, man.

I was hoping you weren't
gonna say that.

Why do I keep screwing
everything up?

Come on.

Thanks.

Just feel a bit dizzy.

Oh, I'm okay.

What, he hit me with a
sledgehammer or something?

-Oh, man.
-Come on Coach.

Here, I'll help you get back

to your locker room-I'm okay.

-All right?
-Oh.

Good? Can you walk?

Yeah. I'm okay.

How's your head feeling?

Uh, not good.

All right, let's get you inside.

Have you seen this today?

What happened?

Oh.

Wh-what are, what
are you gonna do?

I'm gonna fire him.

Samuel, look,

you definitely have
the right to fire him,

but what kind of
Christians would we be

if we turned our backs on him
when he needed us the most?

The school board's gonna
have my head on this.

Well, I remember a time when
you fought the school board

to keep someone else
from getting fired,

someone who kept
breaking your trust.

Yeah, but you
didn't make the news.

Yeah, but I made
your life a nightmare.

I remember you picking me
up from jail for soliciting.

Yeah.

That was a pretty low
point in your life.

You know, that night you
introduced me to someone

who could be strong
when I was weak.

God knows I am so upset

and disappointed in
Stan, believe me,

but he deserves another chance.

Okay.

But you talk to him.

Make him understand there's
only so much I can do

with the school board.

I will. Thank you.

Stan.

You're the last person I
thought I'd see before I left.

Why is that?

Because I, I stood you up.

Yeah. Yeah, you
really messed up.

Look, it's, it's not
that you stood me up,

it's that you picked your
habit over our friendship.

I know.

I just k-keep going
around in my head like,

"How did I let this
thing take over my life?"

I, I can't even remember
when it even started.

It's not something
that you can do alone,

and you know that.

Yeah.

Look, it wasn't until I
lost absolutely everything

in my life till I
called out to Him.

I mean, He didn't
care what I had done.

He just wanted my heart.

C- can He help me?

Of course.

He's always wanted to help you,

you just had to ask.

What, what, what do I do?

Come, sit. I'll show you.

Take my hand,

close your eyes.

Lord, we need you.

Please help.

Let's go! Let's go!

You guys, that was the
best game I've ever seen.

De La Rosi, you, ah.

Good game, Coach.

Looks like that book's
really helped you

with your defense, huh?

I don't know who wrote it,

but it's got a lot
of great ideas.

Yeah. I don't know
either, huh?

Oh, thank you very much.

Nice game, Coach.

It's a lot nicer with you
around, that's for sure.

Ready.

Set. Hut.

Time out! Time out!

Oh.

Missed you, Pigtails.

Missed you too.

Oh, I think, I think
everybody is waiting on you.

Oh, right. Yeah.

I, I, I'll be there.

-Back in a second.
-Okay.

Actually, Abby, do you
wanna come down with me?

O- only if it's okay with you.

Okay.

Set. Hut.

Thanks for coming.

Thank you for supporting
our student athletes.

Oh, there's your mom.

Okay.

Aren't you gonna introduce us?

Oh. Yeah.

Uh, Sarah, this is, uh, Kalissa.

Uh, she's a special
friend of mine.

It's nice to meet you, Kalissa.

You too.

Yeah. Thanks for
bringing Abby tonight.

I really appreciate that.

She had a good time.

Look, I, I just wanna
say sorry for, uh,

everything I put you through.

Uh, a few months ago, I,

I gave my life to Jesus

and I'm not the same
person anymore, so...

I'm glad that you're turning
your life around, Stan.

And I think maybe we can start

talking about visitations again.

That'd be great.

I'd love that.

I need to get Abby home.

It was nice to
meet you, Kalissa.

You too. Drive safe.

See you. See you,
Abby.

Just wanna say thank
you for being there.

Appreciate it.

Of course.

See you Monday, Coach.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Bye.

Run it again!

Stan, I brought somebody with me

that I want you to meet.

This is Walter.

You replaced him after
his heart attack.

Hello, Stan.

-Nice to meet you.
-Thank you.

Nice to meet you.

Yeah, I just wanna say
thank you for this opportunity

to coach such a wonderful
group of young men.

Uh, I'd forgotten how rewarding,

yet challenging it was
to coach at this level,

-so thank you.
-Yes.

No, no.

No, no, no.

I, I don't want the head
coaching job back, no.

Uh, this heart attack put me
into temporary retirement.

Okay. So, uh, what
can I do for you?

Well, I coached
here for 35 years,

I never got them
into the playoffs.

You've kept them undefeated
and seeded number one.

I'd like to be a part
of it, if you'll let me.

That'd be great.

I'd love to have you on board.

I think that'd be great.

Well, I wanna work
with the receivers.

That boy Jesse has
so much talent.

I'd love to watch him mature

and maybe even make
it into the pros.

That'd be great.

I mean, I gotta tell
you, I had what,

16 different colleges
try to get a hold of him.

I said they can't
have a shot of him

for at least another two years.

That's right.

-Yeah.
-All right.

Come on down.

Coach Walter's back.

Set. Hut!

Hey. Left 14 boot.

Okay, go.

Left 14 boot.

Left 14 boot.

On one on one.

-Ready?
-Break!

Okay. Hut!

-Let's go.
-We dit it.

Let's go.

Whoo!

Yeah!

Let's go.

Stan, Stan, can we
get a few words?

Stan, we'd like to know
how your sobriety is going.

That was a heck
of a game tonight.

Is there anything you
wanna ask about the game?

Stan is the story,

not your silly football game.

Well, obviously you
didn't watch the game.

You had at least three
future All-Americans

out there tonight.

Yeah, okay. We're done.

Are you hungry or what?

Oh, man. I've been
running around all day.

I haven't had a chance to eat
anything decent, but, man.

Hmm. Hello there.

How many candy bars
have you eaten today?

Oh, a few. When
did you get here?

Are, are you okay, Daddy?

Uh, we need to punt.

-Stan.
-Yeah, no.

Stan, we just got the ball back.

No, we need to punt.

Stan?

What's going on, man?

We need to...

Oh. Oh, man.

Whoa, man.

-Stan, Stan, come on.
-Uh, where, where,

where am I?

-It's okay.
-Stan?

No, we need to,

-we nee to punt.
-No, come on.

Sadly, Stan the Man,
a known alcoholic,

has proven himself a
disappointment yet again.

This time his second chance came

in the form of a high
school football team.

I don't feel too good.

Easy, easy, easy, easy.

-Daddy.
-Stan?

-Stan?
-Can we get a medic?

Stan?

But it looks like alcohol

has finally taken its toll

on the infamous Stan the Man.

Oh, oh, what, what's going on?

The school board
is having a meeting

so that they can fire
you for drinking.

I haven't even had
a drink in months.

This is crazy.

I, I, I gotta get down
there and stop it.

No, no, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Let's just hang on.

Let's just wait and see
what the doctor says

about what happened.

Hi, Mr. Jacobs.

You gave your family
quite a scare.

How are you feeling?

Good, good. I, I just...

Can we, uh, wrap this up?

I just gotta get going.

We're working on that right now.

But first I wanna give
you your test results

and give you some
patient information

about your condition.

I'm sorry. What, what
do you mean his condition?

There are some changes
you'll need to make

moving forward in your life.

I really need you to
address your addiction.

I'll go work on that
release right now.

I feel that it's
time for a new coach.

We can't have our children
influenced by a drunk

Ma'am.

We have no confirmation

that Stan was drinking
anything other than Gatorade

and soda?

-Gatorade?
-Now, wait a minute.

I think it's a given

that he was drinking on the job.

Thank you. Thank you.

-Yes.
-He passed out!

Now, I'm a booster
for this school

and I donate a lot of my money.

-Yes.
-And I don't think

we should be hiring a drunk

-to coach our children.
-That's right.

Absolutely. Absolutely.

-Thank you.
-That's the only thing

you need to do.

I, I think we wasted a
lot of time on this matter.

Let's take a vote.

-Yes.
-Okay, let's vote. Yeah.

- Before we vote-
- Yeah.

We need-Get him out.

Before we vote.

Please simmer down, please.

Thank you.

I can't believe what
I've been hearing.

This sounds more
like a lynch mob

than a room full of Christians.

Show of hands,

how many of you were perfect
before you met the Lord?

No?

No?

Okay, I have another one.

How many of you are perfect now?

Exactly.

None of you. None of us.

The Bible

is all about second chances.

I won't speak for Stan.
He can speak for himself.

Um...

Uh,

I used to think I
had the whole world

in the palm of my hands,

top of my field in athletics

and later on as a coach.

I reached the high
of the heights.

It filled me with
arrogance and pride.

Man, it turned me
into a bit of a jerk.

But no matter how much
success or fame I had,

I was still empty inside.

And so I turned to the bottle.

And the more I drank from that.

The more I worshiped it, the,

the more it took away from me.

Took away my joy of coaching

and

it took away my family.

It brought me to
the lowest and low.

I mean, I used to walk past
those bums on the street

and look down at them,

and now I was one.

But I,

I managed to crawl out
that bottle just, just,

just long enough for
Principal Andrews to,

to give me a job, uh,

and I appreciate that.

Just like any true drunk, I, I,

I let him down over and
over again, but he kept,

kept giving me another chance.

Then I met a very
special friend.

She told me about Jesus

and how,

and how He could love me

even though I
didn't love myself,

that could take this
broken pieces of a man

and hold it together
in His hands

and give him a second chance.

Now I know I, I've done
a lot of bad things

and I hurt a lot
of people, but I,

I can't change the past.

All I can do is just hope
that you can just see me

the way He sees me

'cause I'm not the same person.

I've changed.

I just hope you
can all see that.

Thank you.

It's time we took a vote.

Wait, please.

There are a few
things I'd like to say

before you vote.

May I?

Um, I think, I think
everyone needs to know

what really happened
out on that field.

Stan was admitted
to the hospital

with a blood sugar of 920,

which is nine times
higher than normal.

He, he wasn't drunk.

He was just having
a diabetic reaction

to the candy that he
had eaten that day

and because he was working
so hard for the game

that he just forgot
to take the time out

to eat something that day.

And I really, really hope
that you can take that

into consideration
when you vote.

Thank you.

O Lord.

Who could ever imagine
that a group of ragtag kids

could help me love being
a coach all over again?

Man, I'm so grateful

for the second chance.

Certainly didn't
deserve it, but, uh,

I'm really happy that
I had this opportunity.

Whatever happens
next, it's okay.

Your will, let it be done.

I'm good with that.

Thank you.

Stan, we want you to
know that no matter what,

we'll stand by you
and support you.

Now, will you
please take our team

and go win us our first
state football championship?

Oh, thank God.

All right. Well, what are we
all standing around here for?

We got an early practice
tomorrow.

-Yeah.
-Yeah!

Yeah, let's go! Go, go!

Come on.

-Yeah!
-Yeah.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Coach.

Coach, Coach.

All right.

All right.

Lord, just bless
these guys today.

And help us just this
witness this game.

In your name, amen.

All right.

Okay.

Let's get going

Let's go, boys.

Let's go.

-Hey, Pigtails.
-Hi.

Hey, is your blood sugar okay.

Yeah, yeah, it's good.

I just checked it
about 30 minutes ago,

but everything's good, honey.

I'm just, uh, I'm just
feeling really excited.

It's a really nice feeling.

All right.

Here we go. Come on.

Ready.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Ready.

Hut.

Oh!

Oh!

It's alright. You got it.

Sorry Coach.

I shoulda have
held onto the ball.

Hey, hey.

It's okay. It's okay.

Look at me. Look at me.

We're gonna get this back, okay?

We're gonna get his back.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Oh.

It's just a little candy bar.

What I saw out there
was a great team

being pushed around
by a good team.

Coach, we haven't ever
been in the playoffs

and the Nakova Indians

are three-time defending
state champions.

You, uh, you don't think
you're gonna win this game?

Okay. You don't think
you can beat 'em?

No, Coach. But-

Who, who, who
else feels that way?

Who, who else feels
like they can't win?

All right.

Oh.

Is that what we got here? Huh?

Okay.

See, I don't remember, reading
in my Bible, Jesus saying,

"You can do all
things through me

except when you're
playing against Indians.

Well, I can't help you there.

I mean, I can heal the
sick, raise the dead,

I can make blind eyes see,

"but I cannot help
you beat these men."

Does it say that?

No, sir.

Coach, He, uh, He says
we can do all things

through Christ Jesus
who strengthens us.

Okay.

Some things, right?

Is that what you said?

Some things?

A, a few things?

Every now and then,
a couple things,

or what does He say?

-All things.
-All things.

What does he say?

All things.

-What was that?
-All things.

-What was that?
-All things.

-What was that?
-All things.

Yeah. Okay.

So you can do all things.

So now I need you to
get out there and play.

You don't just play for
me or play for yourself,

you play for Him.

Win or lose, just play
for him, all right?

Michaels, are, are you ready?

Are you ready for
the second half?

I'll be ready to, Coach.

-All right.
-No matter what.

Good man.

Jerome, man, you are fast.

You're faster than most
of the professionals

I used to coach.

I need you to believe
in yourself more, okay?

Yes, sir. Won't let you down.

All right. I believe you.

Defense, oh, man,

you play one heck
of a game out there.

You are up against one,

the number one offensive high
school teams in the state.

Their average is 260
yards every half.

You kept them at 160
yards on the ground,

160 yards.

Man, that's impressive stuff.

But this time I need you to
keep them under 100 yards.

Can you do that?

Yes, sir.

All right.

Now let's just go out there

and win ourselves a
state championship.

Let's get what is ours?

All right.

On three.

One, two, three.

All things.

-What?
-All things!

-What?
-All things!

-What?
-All things!

All right! All things!

All right!

Hey.

Oh. Diet soda.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

You better get used to it.

You okay?

-I got you.
-Come on. Let's go.

Hey, I'm proud of you, son.

You've done go, okay?

Now you just gotta
let someone else

take over the load.

-Yeah.
-Right.

You're gonna be okay.

Jerome, come, come here.

All right, I want
you to relax, okay?

Feel where the
pressure's coming from.

Look for those
openings, they're there.

-All right?
-All right.

Okay, let's go.

Yeah.

Hey. Hi.

It's your turn, Jerome.

Hey. I know you can do it

You just gotta
believe in yourself.

-All right.
-All right?

Okay.

On one on one.

Ready? Break!

Yes! Yeah.

Come on. Yeah.

Come on. Time out.

Come on. Quick, quick, quick.

Come on. Quick, quick, quick.

Come on.

Go, go, go.

All right, I need you to
throw the ball to Jesse, okay?

Okay, Coach, what
if Jesse's not open.

It's okay.

It's gonna be okay.

It's my responsibility
and he's gonna be open.

18 right, 4 set, 32 across.

Alex is gonna fake
the ball to you

and I need you to
sell that, okay?

Just remember your whole
entire team's out there.

I just need you to get
that ball to the receiver.

Listen up, all of you,

I want you to remember you
can do all things, okay?

Let me hear you.

You can do all things.

All things.

-All things!
-All things!

-All things!
-All things!

-All things!
-All things!

All right, go, go, go!

Yeah, let's go!

Go, go, go, go!

Yeah!

Yes!

Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah!

Rally Walker.

Stan Jacobs.

Great game Coach.

Great.

That was one of the
best running attacks

I've ever seen.

Yeah, it was a good game.

-Yeah.
-Man, I can tell

why you were in the pros.

Oh, appreciate that.

Oh, Commissioner.

I see you have a
handle on your problems.

Yes, I do.

So, I don't see any
reason why you can't return

to the pros next season.

Yeah. Well, I've been
there and done that.

And, you know, this
place is starting to feel

like home to me, so, uh,

I think it might stay here

as long as they'll let me.

Okay. I can respect that.

But if you change your mind,

you know where to find me.

I appreciate
that. All right.

Hey.

Wow. That was a
hell of a game, Stan.

Thanks, Martin.

Uh, I just wanna say I'm sorry

about what I put you
and Sarah through.

And, man, you're a good man
and you're a good coach,

and I just appreciate you
taking care of Sarah when I,

I wasn't around, so-

I appreciate that, Stan.

Thank you.

And I've seen a
couple of your games,

and make sure use a better
offense coordinator because,

I hate to say it,

but your running
game kind of sucks.

Yeah, I think most of
our fans feel the same way.

Hey, you wouldn't happen to
have anybody in mind, would you?

Well, uh, actually, uh,

do you know, uh,
Coach Rally Walker?

No.

Coach Walker.

Yeah. What's up, Stan?

This is Coach Martin.
He coaches for Texas.

Uh, I think he
might be interested

to know more about
your running offense.

Nice to meet you, Coach Walker.

Hey, let's go somewhere
so we can talk.

Yeah. Come eon, man.

Yeah, let's go-All right.

Oh.

I'm glad you changed.

Yeah, me too, honey. Me too.

All right, then.

Let's go.

I just can't believe
how you played today.

Hey, hey, hey.

You are the best damn
receiver I have ever seen.

You're a hell of a lot
better than I ever was.

Thanks, Dad.

I'm proud of you, son.

Ever since your mom died, I,

I haven't been the same.

I'm sorry that I
wasn't there for you.

It's all right, Dad.

I miss Mom too.

Let's get outta here.

Hey, kid. Great hands.

I heard you're only a sophomore.

Thanks. Yeah.

I'm Larry Warren,
Jesse's father.

Nice to meet you.

You guys have been
thinking about college yet?

Uh, no, not, not really. No.

You know what?

How about I take you guys
out to get something to eat,

maybe get your dad
something to drink,

while we talk about your future.

You can buy us something to eat,

but as long as there's
no alcohol served.

I'm a week sober
and, God willing,

I'm planning on
staying this way.

Sure, I understand.

Um, just, uh, gimme
a second, all right?
