:05:00
your daddy's future
place in the hall.
:05:02
You can't just walk in here
and take my daddy's job away!
:05:05
That is enough, Sheryl.
That's enough.
:05:12
Sheryl!
:05:13
Ow.
:05:14
I...
:05:15
it's all right, Bill.
I feel the same way.
:05:19
It's those agitators
and race-mixers
:05:21
I feel like
taking a swat at.
:05:23
Troublemakers in
the Berg are ready
:05:25
to put a torch
to the city.
:05:26
to put a torch
to the city.
:05:27
You want us to burn up
like Watts?
:05:29
Every head coach in
the system is white.
:05:31
We had to give them
something.
:05:32
It's the world we live in,
God help us all.
:05:36
I left North Carolina
because I was passed over
:05:39
for a job that I had
rightfully earned.
:05:41
Gave it to a white coach
down there
:05:43
couldn't even tie up
his own football cleats.
:05:45
Now you are asking me
:05:46
to do the same thing
to this man?
:05:48
I can't do that.
:05:49
Herman?
:05:53
Folks in Carolina say
you marched with Dr. King.
:05:56
Say you stood toe-to-toe
with the Klan.
:05:59
Said you're a race man.
:06:01
That's right.
I'm also a family man.
:06:03
Coach Boone, black folks
have never had
:06:05
anything in this city
to call their own
:06:07
except humiliation
and despair.
:06:09
Dr. Day, excuse me.
:06:11
Herman, I think you'd
better look outside.
:06:29
So, you see,
we need you, Coach Boone.
:06:32
Come on,
meet the people.
:06:34
Coach Boone,
I'm Charles Campbell.
:06:35
This here is
my boy Julius.
:06:38
He can be the fi nest
defensive end
:06:39
in the whole state
if you push him to it.
:06:42
I've heard a lot
about you.
:06:43
You're like an answer
to our prayers.
:06:44
Now, wait a minute. I'm not
an answer to your prayers.
:06:46
I'm not a savior
or Jesus Christ,
:06:50
Martin Luther King,
or the Easter bunny.
:06:52
I'm a football coach,
that's all.
:06:54
Just a football coach.
:06:55
You're our coach.
:06:56
You're our coach!
:06:58
Coach Boone!
