Planning to quit coaching for a different career, after staying up all night praying and reading the Bible, Taylor (challenged by his old football coach; the role was played by Mark Richt, a well-known college football coach who is a devout Christian) tries a radically different approach: praise God no matter the on-field results. He convinces his team to increase their efforts, telling them they can win under God's guidance. The approach works: the Eagles win their remaining games and qualify for the state playoffs. One parent anonymously gifts Taylor a new vehicle and he is given an unexpected salary raise. | Planning to quit coaching for a different career, after staying up all night praying and reading the Bible, Taylor (challenged by his old football coach; the role was played by Mark Richt, a well-known college football coach who is a devout Christian) tries a radically different approach: praise God no matter the on-field results.
