Coach of the Year (1980 TV Movie)
Robert Conrad in Lee Marvin's steps?

Warning: Spoilers
When I saw this cute little drama, I of course thought of Robert Aldrich's DIRTY DOZEN. At a very different scale, I agree...But the story of a hard boiled and somewhere kind of rebel leader who has to take in charge a bunch of outcasts in order to lead them to win, or be brilliant in something where they could be asked for...

Everything here is predictable, no surprises at all, only clichés, but it remains touching and very pleasant. Conrad is really good in this character.

I guess this kind of story around football has been made a thousand times before. But I repeat, this is worth seeing.
