Well, come on in.

I've got an office out back.

Look, I can't

even spell diplomacy,

and I'm sorry about

the way things went down,

but make no mistake,

I am qualified

to be this school's

head coach.

Sure. You've been in,

what,

in the past 1 0 years?

With 4 or5

championships.

This isn't about me.

I'm worried about my boys.

Well, I ain't gonna

cook 'em and eat 'em.

The best player will play.

Color won't matter.

From the looks of our

little situation we got here,

I'd say it's about

all that does.

Yeah, you're right.

We're in

a tough spot, Coach,

you, me, the whole city.

I think it would go a long

way to smooth things over

if you would stay,

work on the staff,

be a defensive coordinator,

assistant head coach.

Work under you?

If that's the way

you see it.

Good night, Coach.

It's been

a rare privilege

to have lived here

as long as I have

coaching your boys.

I'll be taking

the year off...

No.

after which

I'll be moving to Loudon

and taking the head coaching

job at Loudon High.

- I say boycott T.C. Williams!

- Tell 'em, Fred!

Our boys aren't playing

for some ''Coach Coon!''

Coach,

he stole your job.

I'm not playing for him.

I started a petition, and I'm

sitting this season out.

Only place

you're going to sit

is back in that chair,

Gerry.

I appreciate it, though.

Boycott T. C.!

Boycott the school!

Stop this, Fred.

You know none of these boys

can afford to go

to some other district

just to play ball.

They sit this one out,

they put their futures

on the line.

Coach, I'm out, too.

I'm not playing

for no thief.

Don't do this.

Don't make this any harder

for me than it already is.

Coach, if you go, I go.

only play

for you, Coach Yoast.

Don't go, Coach.

You can't leave us.

Coach Yoast!

Coach Yoast! Coach Yoast!

We'll be all right,

Coach.

I've coached

most of these boys

since they

were your age.

I've seen them grow up

in front of my eyes,

almost like

they were my own kids.

Almost.

This is a heck of a time

to be abandoning them

to look out for

themselves, ain't it?

So...what are you

gonna do?

We gonna play

some ball, y'all!

Black inside, black inside,

black inside.

Unh, unh, unh, unh!

Yo, Petey,

how many yards you figure

you gonna get

this season, bro?

You know, I ain't one

to brag, big Blue,

but I figure on

at least a thousand.

But I ain't

one to brag.

Didn't I tell you

all them white boys

weren't gonna play

for no brother?

Well, who needs 'em, baby?

From now on the Titans gonna be

powered by soul power, bro.

! He said soul power!

Shut up.

Put your hand down.

You're smiling.

Yes.

Yes, sir.

Why are you smiling?

'Cause I love football.
