Last Chance U (Netflix Series)

Can't wait for this. Will be interesting to see if this new program is as entertaining as EMCC and Buddy Stephens.

It's one of my favorite things that Netflix has done. Part of it was having a great protagonist (Ms. Wagner, who I had a major crush on) and antagonist (Buddy)...not sure if this new school will have that dynamic.

Just started the new season. Seems like it should be pretty interesting. Independence CC is only about 90 minutes or so south of here.

A couple names I rcognized, QB Malik Henry from FSU (that’s three former Jimbo Fisher QBs along with John Franklin and DeAndre Johnson) and former scUM RB Kingston Davis...one of harbrau’s anonymous 3* specials.

The coach is a raging douchebag. I read that he's been charged with 8 felonies for impersonating a lawyer sending fake cease and desists to newspapers reporting on his incident with the German kid.

Oh he for sure he is, but he's great entertainment. Some of the shit he says is just hysterical.

Coach Brown is very quick to blame anyone other than himself

Excited to see the next season is coming to my neck of the woods in Oakland

I'm with NFBuck. A case study in how not to coach kids. His career would seem to be in a death spiral.

Interestingly, both of the schools that have been featured had major hard-ass coaches, and both had a number of players that displayed open contempt for the way they are/were treated. I wonder how common this is in big time D1 football. I'd assume part of it is that players likely look at JUCO as a temporary stop, whereas in D1 it's more long-term, so maybe there's more buy-in. Either way, all 4 seasons have been terrific entertainment and really well done.

Can confirm that it happens in other D1 sports. Won't cite specifics other than, obviously, being in lacrosse. Could cite examples from D1 through D3 to high level MCLA club ball.
