Who Would Play Your Coach?

[Eyes of Old Main]

As discussed on the Paul Finebaum show today, if they made a movie about your school or your conference, who should they hire to play your coach?

A few SEC examples given on Finebaum's show: Phillip Fulmer/Ned Beatty, Nick Saban/Al Pacino, etc.

Anyway, it was kind of a cool idea so here goes on AGS.

Mike Ayers/Chuck Norris. Definately playing up the martial arts angle and the cerebral, quiet nature.

They just seem to remind me of each other, especially since Jerry vanDyke played a football coach on the TV show Coach

I was going to post Robert Duval too, even before seeing WUTNDITWAA's post. There doesn't seem to be a better choice out there, except that Duval is a lot meaner-looking than Coach Moore.

Gene Hackman? Burt Reynolds?

James Gammon, the manager from Major League, might do the trick.

How about the whole cast HiHi:

Dr. Peacock: Robin Williams
Jerry Moore: Robert Duvall
Roachel Laney: Matthew Lesko (the guy who had the commercials on how to get free money from the government. It's a bit part and the question mark suits are fitting).
Charlie Cobb: Vince Vaughn
David Jackson: Seth Green
Richie Williams: Chris Tucker
Dave Coulson: Christopher Lloyd (Great Scott!!)
Houston Fancher: Michael J. Fox


It could work. We have an App grad whose in charge of all the scenes in football movies.
I wonder if we could get Adam Sandler to pay the part of Bobby Lamb for us. Seems he owes us.

No, every time I'm at Neyland watching a game and see Fulmer, I always think of Fred Thompson. And I really like the idea of "Opie" playing coach Hatcher. I just can't think of any to play Erk when they make the movie. Whomever it is, they have to be distinguished. No f lousy.

The late, great Jackie Coogan (was a big child star and later was known as Uncle Fester on the Addams Family) would make a good Erk Russell.

Uncle Fester as Erk? Blasphemy! xeekxxeekxxeekx

I even think George C. Scott would be in over his head at the role. You must look mean, have a great sense of humor, a southern drawl, and mean as hell on game day. I just don't know who could pull it off.

Of course, I am a homer so I am not objective.:o

[JSU Fan]

I wanted to build up the suspense of my suggestion to play Erk Russell so you'll have to click on the link. He's an actor of considerable talent and a great sense of humor. I'm not sure he can do the drawl, but I'm sure he'd give it a go.

I'm having trouble coming up with someone who actually LOOKS like Coach Moore, but the integrity of Hackman in "Hoosiers" would fit. Burt Reynolds eliminated himself with his plastic surgery. I like Duval in anything he plays.
