Plot
Players are deserting their football team because they're tired of losing. The coach's car is dying, his house is falling apart, and his wife can't get pregnant.
A bunch of men want to get him replaced. He considers himself "A failing coach with a losing record who can't provide his wife with a decent home, a decent car or give her a child."
Anybody would simply give up at this point, but Grant Taylor decides to put his life in God's hands and give it one more big try.
