in touch with the local agency.

I realize this is difficult

for you to hear,

but you and your wife can

make the best decision

now that you know where you are.

Sorry. I didn't realize

anybody was still here.

- Hey, Steve.

- Putting in late hours tonight?

Yeah, I guess so.

I can lock up. You can take off.

All right. Thanks, Coach.

It's about the boys.

I'm not asking you to throw him out.

If Shiloh can invest in a winning coach,

we don't need to settle for second best.

You can let him go

with as much class as you want to.

- Alvin, he's a good man.

- I'm not saying he's not a good man.

I'm saying he's not a good coach.

Come on, Dan. Just look at the facts.

His record speaks for itself.

- We need new leadership.

- I still think he deserves more time.

He's had six years. If he was capable

of winning, he'd have done it by now.

Grant Taylor is not capable of winning.

He doesn't have it in him.

That's the whole point.

I'm just saying I want my son to have

the best football program possible.

My son's got a chance

for a football scholarship

if he's taught by the right coach.

Matt's gonna be a senior next year.

I don't wanna see him

lose this opportunity.

Brady, you're awfully quiet.

What's your take on this?

Honestly, I don't know.

Sometimes I think Grant could do a better job

of building this football program.

But then other times I think he's doing

just as good as anyone else would.

You could do better.

- What we need is a change.

- Now.

We're losing booster support,

game attendance is down,

and from the looks of it

we've already lost this season.

Dan, we've got a weak program

because we've got a weak coach.

He's dead weight.

We need to cut him loose.

Have you been at school all this time?

Yes.

I tried to call you an hour ago.

Is everything all right?

Grant, talk to me.

I don't know where to start.

What's going on?

I was trying to lock up for Steve

and I overheard Dan

meeting with some fathers.

They didn't know I was there.

Brooke, they're pushing him

to get rid of me.

Neil Prater, Alvin Pervis, Luke Rae.

They said I wasn't capable of winning,

called me dead weight.

They can't make Dan fire you.

You've still got support.

You just go get JT and Brady

and see him tomorrow.

Brady was there.

They've just lost confidence in me.

I was so sure I could turn this program

around and I've just sunk it lower.

Brooke, I've tried so hard.

Why can't I win?

You can win.

Stop beating yourself up, Grant.

Brooke, I can't provide you

with a decent home.

I can't provide you with a decent car.

I'm a failing coach

with a losing record.

And I can't give you

the children you want.
