My review for "Last Chance U" after watching two seasons.
I waited to write this review until I completed the second season of the show because I wanted to see if changes were made by Buddy Stephens. I am glad I waited because I now have even more fuel to throw at that overweight bully. In the first season, Coach Stephens has some choice words for his players after the massive brawl with Delta at the end of the first season. He refers to them as thugs and rednecks. He berates and insults them on a daily basis by telling them to "Shut Up" all the time. This man is no coach and it is obviously he only cares about his status as a coach rather than the players he coaches. Season one ends with EMCC being disqualified from the post season.
Season two opens with Buddy Stephens giving his "Woe is Me" speech and saying how he is going to change after viewing himself in the first season. He even goes as far and doing push ups for cursing. (That won't last long). After a few episodes he continues to berate his players by constantly telling the to "shut up" and goes as far as to tell his own coaching staff that they are terrible. The running back gets a serious injury, concussion, and is treated properly but when he sprains his ankle the coaches call him weak and punish him for being hurt. Coach Stephens is a horrible coach, he doesn't care about his players. He only cares about his National Championship, is JUCO Buddy not the NCAA, relax. At the end of the second season, the finale game, Buddy is shown having a one way conversation with Coach Wood, he is yelling and cursing at him, in front of the players mind you, and kicks him off the sideline. This guy kicked his own OC off the sideline. The show is good but Buddy Stephens is a real piece of work and terrible person. The loss in staff shows you he is impossible to work with and the only sad thing about the second season was Ms. Wagner leaving.
