He has been on more talk shows and dot coms
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.
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.
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 [indistinct].
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.
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?
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.
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!
Ready.
Hut.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 right, go, go, go!
Yeah, let's go!
Go, go, go, go!
Yeah!
Yes!
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?
