Finished season two. Want to make some comments.
Buddy Stephens - He's obviously a good coach on some level, but I'm struggling to find it. I think Coach Woods (*spoiler*), who later stepped down because of Stephens horrible attitude, was the backbone of the team. His spiel about wanting to change was all for the cameras.
Britney Wagner - She is an amazing human being. She does all that she can to help these young men, and for her to be alienated by Buddy is ridiculous. I'm glad she got out of there, she deserves better than EMCC.
Kam - I wanted him to get it. I wanted something to break through to him. He is so talented, and at times showed the fire you want from a guy. He never found the work ethic he needed though. One of my favorite moments was when a teammate told him (after he said he belonged somewhere like Bama) that "Your height and weight belong at Bama, but YOU don't." I hope he wakes up.
DeAndre Johnson - If you've ever had a close friend, family member, or yourself do something completely stupid and out of character, and try to come back from it...man, DeAndre is that guy. His maturity, his leadership, and the obvious pain he pain he feels from what happened I think will push him to do well. I know his opportunities were limited, as he was paying the price for his actions, but watching him made me believe he's a genuinely good kid.
Dakota Allen - Everything I said above applies here. He is obviously a really smart kid who made a huge mistake. I think he has all the tools to come back and get to the NFL.
Tim Bonner - I love his attitude, and his personality. He has a high motor. He thinks he is dumb, because I'm sure he was told that most his life, but there was such a genuineness to some of the things he said. I think with the right guidance, he can be successful at FAU.
Chauncey Rivers - He was my favorite player. Probably. His teammates liked him, he listened to coaches, he worked hard, and one of the only time he had issues was when Buddy threw his mom out of a game (didn't blame him). He landed in a good spot with Dan Mullens and co at Miss St.
Isaiah Wright - He's s tough case. He is talented, and likeable, but his attitude is tough to take. Some of it was warranted by being pushed to play injured, or by Buddy just being horrible at communicating, but he let his feelings get in the way. I worry about him making it without a really good support staff.
A few other thoughts.
Someone at a higher level needs to hire Davern Williams. I think he's the kind of coach you want on staff.
Marcus Woods is a genuinely good guy, and deserves to be Head Coach at EMCC.
I am glad they are doing a season 3, but don't know if moving the show to another CC (Independence CC) is going to be good for them or not.
