Numerous reports including one on the Time site report that NBC will be producing a sequel to the popular 1990s situation comedy Coach, with Craig T. Nelson reprising his role as, yup, a college football coach. But Nelson won't be at a state university this time.From Time (link):
The pitch: “Coach Hayden Fox, in the present day, has retired from coaching. He is called back to become assistant coach to his own grown son, who is the new head coach at an Ivy league school in Pennsylvania that is just starting up a new team."An Ivy League school in Pennsylvania just starting a football team? Uh oh.
Green Alert Take: Whether it is a good show or a bad show only time will tell, but the guess here is that it won't be particularly good for the image of Ivy League football. Look for the usual cliches about Ivy League brainiacs and football players who aren't very committed to the game – or very good at it.
