Finished the Garden City episode - their HC somehow got a promotion and is now at Southern Missouri State...wonder if he gets that job if that episode came out earlier, he’s a pretty ****** human

Just looked up the coaches. Not sure what they are like. Just know that one of them is named Donald Dicko White and that makes me happy.

Well that is a bit of a departure. From small rural towns to Oakland, CA. Laney was the champion of the California leagues last year. Until recently, I never knew that Cali has their own rankings, etc and basically don't participate with the rest of the country (as far as JUCOs).

Looks like Malik Henry will be Nevada's backup.

Darn I wanted to actually watch him play in a major game. Not because I like him. Just want to see if he is the real deal
Totally agree. I felt bad for him at the end of season 4. Just being around his Dad and mentor, it looked like he wish he would have played baseball. The Dad coming back into his life appeared to be an opportunity grab.
Pretty tame season 5 by Last Chance U standards... the storyline of each player was very different since they don't live together or close to the college.
I'm two episodes in. What I'm seeing so far mostly sicks to the formula - you've got a couple talented knuckleheads, you've got the hard luck kid everyone is rooting for, you've got coaches swearing gratuitously. My wife asked during the second episode if the coaches actually teach the players anything or if they're only around to scream and cuss at them. She had a point.
What I'm not seeing (yet, anyway) is the kids who just seem kind of helpless - like if they're anywhere other than on the field they're totally lost and can barely function. By and large the players in the Laney program appear to be fairly self sufficient and do what they have to do without needing someone to hold their hand the whole way. I wonder if it's the lack of dorms - nothing like not having a roof over your head to kick you in the ass and get you moving.
Showing a coach teaching backs how to properly cut or qb's correct foot mechanics is not very exciting, why it doesn't get shown. Coaches are usually decent with that area and not going loco like they want to show.
True enough. But you could sprinkle in a little actual instruction to go with all the yelling and screaming. Maybe that's what the cameras want, but it makes some of those coaches look like clowns.
I'm afraid that anything that came after JB and that trainwreck at Indy was going to seem tame. I imagine that's part of the reason this is their last football season. There's no way you can live up to that again.
For some of the older guys on this board you may remember Rush Propst from MTV's "Two-A-Days". Well he is now going to be on a Netflix series for the school he is coaching at in Georgia. The guy on and off the field has had one "interesting" life to say the least:
How High School administrators think it's a good idea to have Rush Propst dealing with young kids is amazing. Like it's nutso that he can actually be a high school coach and mentor after what he has done.
At the big HS programs in the South = Winning
Win and they will keep giving you chances sadly.
OH I agree. However, once you get caught breaking rules for the 1000 time, maybe someone should have stepped up and said "maybe another coach who has not been caught yet can coach us, not this slimeball".
