Are you drunk?
This ain't the way
it's gonna be.
- Can he play?
- He loves football.
He just doesn't know it yet.
I came here to tell you
that the whole thing
between you and me
You know Vince's dad?
He was a drug dealer.
Used to be one of
the baddest
cats we had in town.
Tell me you're done
with the drugs.
I will never
let that happen again.
Luke, this is Karl Gage

You can look around the campus,
meet the coaches.
Hello, Vincent.
I'm the head coach here.
Set, hut, hut.
[Indistinct shouting]
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
I was gonna take it up the gap.
What are the corners playing?
- Cover two.
- Cover two.
And in cover two, the tight end
is open between the safeties.
So what the hell are you doing?
I was gonna take it up the gap.
I don't want you
taking it up the gap,
'cause I don't want you running
eight yards and getting hit,
'cause I'd like to go
to the playoffs this year.
- Would you like to come with me?
- Yes, sir.
Then don't take it up the gap.
Do it my way,
stay in the pocket,
make the read,
look for the slant.
And if the slant's not there,
what do you do?
- I dump it off to Luke.
- That's right.
That's good, so let's do that.
Line it up.
Hey, you know what way
we're gonna do it, don't you?
- Your way, coach.
- Every time.
My way!
Hut, hut.
There you go.
Way to hang on.
That's nice,
because what is that?
What way is that?
- Your way.
- That's my way.
- The right way, coach.
- My way is the right way,
the good way, the smart way.
It's the path to salvation,
gentlemen.
Three-step drop, coach?
Boy's a natural scrambler.
I don't know why you want
to put a leash on him.
You're slipping, Karl.
They said they've been
watching me since summer league.
They wanted
a verbal commitment.
They shouldn't even
be talking directly to you.
You're a junior.
I didn't know that.
That guy Karl said
come in the room,
and when I walked in they
were all just sitting there
waiting to meet me.
I said, "I thought you
wanted Cafferty.
"
He said, "we do.
We're talking
to you right now.
"
It's a calf, cow.
A what?
Does anyone else
know about this?
No.
Well, my mom and my dad.
I guess that's it.
How's that going with your dad?
Found some middle ground.
Good.
Are they gonna be
up there for the game?
No, my mom's gotta work,
but my dad'll be there.
I'll tell you what,
once we all get up there,
you, me, and your dad
are gonna get together
and we're gonna
have a little talk, how's that?
Sounds good.
Does Luke know about this?
No, it's his moment.
Didn't want to take it
away from him.
Keep it that way.
Everybody have a seat!
Have a seat now!
Let's go!
Take a seat!
Sit down!
- Let's go!
- Sit down!
Thank you, coach.
We're gonna take
a little road trip, gentlemen.

Hey, guys.
Hey, good work
this week so far.
Let's keep it up, yeah?
All: Yes, sir.
Listen, I hear everything
that goes on around here.
There's nothing
that misses my ears.
I know who it is
doing the talking around here,
and I know who's not
doing the talking.
I hear talk
about last year's forfeit,
the season opener.
I don't mind that.
Go ahead and say it.
But I don't want any talk about
revenge going on around here,
'cause when you talk
about revenge
and you're playing football
with revenge,
you're playing stupid football,
and I'm not gonna have it.
Understood?
All: Yes, sir.
Success is not a goal.
It's a by-product.
So we'll put the work in,
we'll stick to the game plan,
and we will play
the way that
Play Taylor-ball!

Coach, 24 total penalties
for 245 yards.
Now, that's got
to be a league record.
There were penalties
on both sides.
Yeah, but most of them were
for unsportsmanlike conduct,
and most of them
were on your team.
They started this whole mess.
You guys just finished it,
right?
Is that the style you're gonna
play this year, thug ball?

It's always good
talking to you two.
Hey, hold on, hold on.
Come on, coach.
We got a long bus ride.
We'll see you.
Why are you guys
so undisciplined, coach?

Are you in charge?
I'm glad you won
your soccer game,
but I need you to tone it down.
I can't accept this.
I need y'all to please
Hi, hi.
It's okay.
Go on through, thanks.
If you could get into your

Just leave it unlocked.
I'll be back in just
an hour or two, okay?
Baby, I'm

So are we just gonna
drive around all night

gonna take me somewhere?
I'm showing you
how to get lost.
Well, you seem
to be succeeding.
I'm not gonna be able
to stay out much longer.
I gotta get home
and work on my thesis.
So what are you doing
at Burleson?
What are you doing at Burleson?
That's not fair.
I asked you first.
All right, same time.
One, two, three.
I'm here because

I'm at Burleson because
I couldn't hack it
Wanted to give me a shot,

an adjunct professorship,

a ridiculous thesis.

He's, uh
Just this guy in Chicago.
Okay, quit getting grease

I just wanted to say real quick,

Coach, congratulations.
Congratulations to everybody.
Old-school football.
We beat the *** outta them,

There were some good sticks.
There were.
We let that game get
away from us.

Game got away from us
a little bit.
That's how
it should be played, coach.
No, I didn't like all that.
I didn't like all that.
No, no, coach,
they were late-hitting us
the whole entire time
in the first half.
I understand that,
I'm just saying

See y'all in the morning.
