:08:01
Well, I ain't gonna
cook 'em and eat 'em.
:08:04
The best player will play.
Color won't matter.
:08:06
From the looks of our
little situation we got here,
:08:09
I'd say it's about
all that does.
:08:11
Yeah, you're right.
:08:13
We're in
a tough spot, Coach,
:08:14
you, me, the whole city.
:08:16
I think it would go a long
way to smooth things over
:08:18
if you would stay,
work on the staff,
:08:20
be a defensive coordinator,
assistant head coach.
:08:22
Work under you?
:08:25
If that's the way
you see it.
:08:31
Good night, Coach.
:08:37
It's been
a rare privilege
:08:39
to have lived here
as long as I have
:08:41
coaching your boys.
:08:42
I'll be taking
the year off...
:08:44
No.
:08:45
after which
I'll be moving to Loudon
:08:49
and taking the head coaching
job at Loudon High.
:08:52
- I say boycott T.C. Williams!
- Tell 'em, Fred!
:08:56
Our boys aren't playing
for some ''Coach Coon!''
:08:58
Coach,
he stole your job.
:09:00
I'm not playing for him.
:09:02
I started a petition, and I'm
sitting this season out.
:09:04
Only place
you're going to sit
:09:05
is back in that chair,
Gerry.
:09:07
I appreciate it, though.
:09:08
Boycott T. C.!
Boycott the school!
:09:11
Stop this, Fred.
You know none of these boys
:09:13
can afford to go
to some other district
:09:15
just to play ball.
:09:16
They sit this one out,
:09:18
they put their futures
on the line.
:09:19
Coach, I'm out, too.
:09:21
I'm not playing
for no thief.
:09:22
Don't do this.
:09:24
Don't make this any harder
for me than it already is.
:09:26
Coach, if you go, I go.
:09:28
only play
for you, Coach Yoast.
:09:30
Don't go, Coach.
You can't leave us.
:09:32
Coach Yoast!
Coach Yoast! Coach Yoast!
:09:41
We'll be all right,
Coach.
:09:44
I've coached
most of these boys
:09:45
since they
were your age.
:09:47
I've seen them grow up
in front of my eyes,
:09:48
almost like
they were my own kids.
:09:50
Almost.
:09:52
This is a heck of a time
to be abandoning them
:09:55
to look out for
themselves, ain't it?
:09:57
So...what are you
gonna do?
