Okay, we know that Bud Kilmer was supposed to be the bad guy here, but was he really that different from a lot of Texas High School coaches? Consider that the film portrayed his coaching record as impeccable, winning multiple championships at a pace whereby the stadium was named after him and a bronze statue of him was outside of the aforementioned facility. However…….He showed himself to be arrogant and a tad racist, and put the game ahead of his player’s well-being. He did rule with an iron fist, but a player’s mutiny took place under his watch. Actually, when he lost control, we kind of understood why Angelina Jolie does not talk to her father that much.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Varsity Blues (1999)
Actor:
Jon Voight
Role Portrayed:
Head Coach
Why you should vote for him:
He was a winner of many championships.
Why you should not vote for him:
The Dawson’s Creek guy got one over on him. How the hell did happen?

Although we thought “Kicking and Screaming” was average at best, we have to admit that there were moments where we enjoyed Robert Duvall as Buck Weston, the hypercompetitive father of Phil Weston (Will Farrell) and verbal sparring partner of Mike Ditka. We aren’t sure that is enough to make the original Major Frank Burns a serious contender for the Hall though.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Kicking and Screaming (2005)
Actor:
Robert Duvall
Role Portrayed:
Coach of the Gladiators
Why you should vote for him:
Same as what we said about Farrell, It was not Duvall’s fault that the movie was average.
Why you should not vote for him:
It was good, but not memorable. Even the jarring with Ditka got a little old.

Can anyone really explain why this mysterious African American ghost gave a crap about the restoring the golfing confidence of some white guy in the early 1930’s?

We almost completely forgot of the sage like advice of Coach Bobby Finstock. Actually, it is the advice you have to cling to if you want to vote for him, as for a Basketball Coach, he did not seem to offer anything to motivate his players, had no problem with forfeiting a game, and was probably more content to pick his nose than execute a pick and roll. He did however off this nugget of advice that everyone should live by:“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.”
Now this is the type of advice that transcends the game of Basketball don’t you think?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Teen Wolf (1985)
Actor:
Jay Tarses
Role Portrayed:
Coach of the Deacon Beavers H.S. Basketball Team
Why you should vote for him:
Just for his outlook on life alone.
Why you should not vote for him:
How good could his overall won/loss record possibly be? Especially, when the “Wolf” isn’t playing?
