Such a powerful scene. Coach Taylor realizes that Matt is just a kid who has been through so much in his life and all the sudden he feels sympathy for him instead of anger, man this show was so great. The characters were so believable and real.
I love this scene and everyone always remembers the shower part (What’s wrong with me? 😭) but I love seeing the rare bit of lucidity from Grandma Saracen “I’m sure glad you’re here because I think Matthew needs your help.”
So i'm sure this is true of plenty of couples out there who followed the show: my gf watched for the soap opera storylines & i watched for the football stuff. In general, i found the melodrama of the show cheesy most of the time. But tbh - this scene always stands out in my mind as one of the best in the entire series.
@@drivingintothedesertuntilt3202 The worst part about this statement, is that the guys are usually amazing people, but then bad stuff starts happening to them for no reason whatsoever... You can live your life as perfectly as possible, but bad luck always wins in the end. :/
Matt's grandmother was the kindest sweetest lady!! When she says "Sure glad you came by because I think Matthew needs your help" she was reaching out for Coach Taylor to step in as a father figure
This scene is one of the only redeeming qualities of season 2. No matter how off course season 2 got, Zach Gilford always delivered a powerful performance
@@MoonMoon-fx1op A lot of the fundamental issues the season was suffering from came before the writers strike even happened, however, you could see them trying to course correct in the final few episodes
this was real acting. coach remembered in this moment that matt was still just a child who's been through so much as a teenager. he was carrying the weight of the world on his own for so long.
One of the best things about this show was how much Matt’s grandma had so much respect and love for Taylor. Every time she saw him she could see how much of a good man he was. Other than that. This scene is one of the best scenes in all of this show. Love it all
One of the greatest scenes in all of tv And no Matt, Julie didn't leave you for a better guy. Julie left because she was delusional and thought she could do a better.
I'd argue she left because she felt emotionally abandoned by her parents and just wanted her life to implode. It really had nothing to do with the Swede or Matt. She got a dose of reality when she saw where her choices had led her to and quickly stopped the self destruction. Hence by episode 5 that season she was already trying to get back into Matt's good graces.
@@KMC5240 Julie said the following during season 3 when matt came over for dinner post his demotion "were just a family having dinner talking about football"
Yes he did! I know everyone hates on Julie but I’m so happy he ended up as his son in law, what i would give to see a father in law son in law scene with them now, sharing a beer complaining about how the women in their lives are always right lol lol
Anyone really impressed by how physically strong Coach Taylor was, he threw around that other head coach during the hurricane like he was a bag of laundry too.
Fire scene. Coach Taylor’s relationship With Matt and Tim is on a whole nother level because they both had a relationship with Julie( I know tims wasn’t romantic but still there) and they both had father issues like the coach.
When the show was actually airing on TV, I wasn't able to catch every single episode. Only years later after actually seeing each episode in their entirely did I really see how amazing the show was. Some seasons are obviously better than others, but the overall show was a masterpiece. I don't know if they'd ever consider some kind of reboot, but I'd be on board with it.
@@mickeykelly5612 Nah, I don't want a reboot. I want a continuation. Have coach Taylor get offered a head coaching gig in an FCS school. He takes over, you watch him go for recruits, tryouts, practices. While helping these kids through college and trying to keep them on a straight path. I would love that. Kyle Chandler will always be coach Taylor for me lol.
@@Bolt6604 I'm pretty sure that still counts as a reboot. Though with your idea, it wouldn't be "Friday Night Lights" since it'd be a college team. To truly recapture the magic, it'd have to surround a high school team.
@@Bolt6604 I think an intersting idea for a continuation of the series is coach returns to dillion for the 20th anniversary of the '06 state winning team and winds up coaching his grandson on the panthers. Julie Matt and their children move back to dillon.
HANDS down the best moment of the entire second season and a Top 10 moment of the entire series frankly for me. Such a powerful showcase from both Zach Gilford and Kyle Chandler right here. Everything Matt has gone through with just those first two seasons alone was basically building to this big moment and Coach was able to realize that instantly. The relatability of Matt along with his genuinely good character and heart is what made him easily one of the standout characters of the series for me. I know many understandably hate Julie even beyond her despicable Season 2 behavior, but Matt got his happy ending in the end and that was good enough for me because I felt like nobody else in the show had earned themselves one more than him.
I agree! This show always made me cry, so many deep feeling moments. What Matt and Tim go through reflect back on how confusing and hard it is to grow up
Always be kind too other's or at least try because you never know what someone is going threw or there personal battles best clip in a tv series ive ever seen great job scene crew
Damn, as a football coach myself I gotta say this scene pulled a tear or two. Being a coach is one of the toughest most rewarding things a person can experience in life. Sometimes we forget how some of these kids have nothing and how much we mean to them.
Let me give a dose of how that goes in the real world. My senior year our starting QB was in my grade, he started every game for our team his Junior year, he was first team all conference and we made it to the quarterfinals of state. He is still the only QB in our schools history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. The second game of my senior year we barely beat a team we were supposed to dominate and our coach saw the writing on the walls. He wanted to get the team ready for next year, so he benched our stater and put in our sophomore back up. We were actually significantly worse with this kid but he remained the starter for the rest of the year. My coach let our former starter play running back and he maybe got 5 carries a game, he was actually getting looked at by colleges before the season started. I think that is so much harsher than how Eric handled Matt’s situation
@@stoneharper7038 it is but it's equally fucked up if I was the coach I would've just focused a bit more on the underclassmen if that was the case and let the seniors play so they can get the most eyes on them for college and let them enjoy their last year in Highschool. At the end of the day they're just kids.
Well I mean Matt wasn’t delivering and yk iss texas they love football and they wanted McCoy bored demanded it or it’s his job so ion blame him onat one
Finally!! I've waiting for my them to drop this scene for a while. Also the scene where he benches Matt for JD McCoy the anger in his eyes is great acting.
Definitely one of my favorite scenes of the whole show. My high school never had a coach like this. In fact, throughout my 4 years of high school, we had 3 different head coaches. And just when we thought we genuinely found an honorable one, they would always turn their heads to the scoreboard. Granted I know winning is important, especially to the coaches career, but the students and players are equally as, if not, more important. I would’ve given anything to have a coach like this. Our coaches half the time didn’t even remember our names. The only names they remembered was the ones that had what seemed to be a natural ability to score touchdowns. They didn’t have eyes at all for underdogs. No mindset for mentorship. No hearts for sympathy for individual players needs. Nothing. Just eyes on the prize and publicity. And ironically enough, we never saw a championship. In fact, we barely made it to the playoffs and the team we faced first round scored like 5 touchdowns in the first half. To our zero touchdowns. They ran past us like we were standing still. And then even better, none of the coaches we had even coach anymore. They’re into real estate and sales and what not.
Love that Eric turned off his coach brain when he realizes Matt isn’t just some irresponsible kid but a young man that has gone through so much and is just trying to deal with it while also still having to be the man of the house for his grandma
I'm like his in some ways Matt didn't have any siblings to help him I had siblings but they all passed away with my last sibling dying this past april he had to grow up faster because his parents weren't there for him and he had to take care of his grandmother by himself . I have to take care of my parents by myself because my sister passed that helped me
I wish we saw a follow through on this scene. I would have loved to have seen more dialogue between Coach and Matt about this scene. Maybe Matt apologizing to Coach later and coach telling Matt not to worry about it.
Honestly, after I finished this series back in January, Matt and Coach Taylor's is one of the best dynamics of the series along with Eric and Tami, Tim and Billy, & Eric and Buddy
Yeah this is up there with I think Michael B. Jordan scene from season 4 or 5 where he gets robbed or pressured to do some shady stuff and basically just starts swinging his fists at the air in frustration. Both that and this scene hit hard.
I agree but this wasn't his best scene. I get what he was going for but calling Matt selfish and telling him everyone is relying on him, as if he doesn't know that, is not the right direction to go. The kid felt like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders and no support system to help him carry it. Of course he is going to stumble.
I know exactly how he feels. The feeling that everyone leaves you, that you’re not good enough and something’s wrong with you. At least he had a girlfriend. Every girl I ever built up the courage to ask out turned me down flat. At least his coach saw something in him. Mine never did.
@@Subo23 Couldn't really say anything in that situation. McGregor was right. I remember wishing the season finale would be the team McGregor coaches after Dillon would knock Dillon out of the playoffs.
@@fester2306 Coach McGregor wasn't right, Dillon is a town where people plant for sale signs on the coaches front lawn after every loss. McGregor abused Riggins and destroyed the offense within 2 games .
As the guy who gets left, you don't see it that way. Logically speaking, she either left you because the other guy was better than you, or she truly hated you. Anything else wouldn't make sense.
Everyone loves Coach Taylor's locker room speeches, and they are epic! BUT... it's the one on one moments he has with his players like this that REALLY make the show transcend the usual sports movie clichés. Don't get me wrong, I am a sucker for the sports movie clichés as well and they work in this show most of the time. But, the one on one fatherly moments, and this one in particular take the show to another level! What makes it more impressive is that a lot of it was usually shot in one or two takes which often brought out the best in the actors. This scene is a great example of that!
Matts def the best character and in my eyes the main character besides coach. Its kind of like varsity blues where james vander beek was the main character and backup qb the best qb in the country and be became a star himself, and ended up being central to the story after that. Same with matt. He became qb and dated the other main characters daughter. He was a great guy with a great heart. He was like your every man character and so many people can relate to him.
I hadn't seen the seasons yet but I think coach is sometimes angry and rude with him beacuse Matthew is having a realtionship with his daughter and as a father of a young girl, his concerns and worries for her are on point. I will be watching the shoe after 5 days , because I had a paper after 5 days and after that I will be free and this season is on my prior list for sure.
this was one of the few times I disagreed with coach. Take matt on a walk and talk things out. Don't throw him in a shower because he's felt like that his whole life!
I think they would've made season 2 redeemable had the writers strike not happened, because there were so many gems (including this scene). However, that murder plot was all trash.

This was the absolute best scene of the series. Searched for it years and years hoping to see it spotlighted. Glad it finally is. What a performance.

Selfish? The absolute least selfish person in the series by far. The man always put everyone before himself
I cried so much true stuff we don't even know about
So this is where All American got that "Everybody leaves me" scene from. Loved it in both shows.
How dare you compare that show to this masterpiece
This’ll make a grown man cry
Yeah this is up there with I think Michael B. Jordan scene from season 4 or 5 where he gets robbed or pressured to do some shady stuff and basically just starts swinging his fists at the air in frustration. Both that and this scene hit hard.
“What’s wrong with me”…. My god I get that. It broke my heart
This has gotta be up there with the “how come he don’t want me” scene from Fresh Prince as one of the most gut wrenching scenes.
Coach : matt you forgot your mum left as well...
I feel this scene so hard. Sucks being like this.
The one that everybody loves but doesn’t have anyone to love
Coach Taylor is a great guy
I agree but this wasn't his best scene. I get what he was going for but calling Matt selfish and telling him everyone is relying on him, as if he doesn't know that, is not the right direction to go. The kid felt like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders and no support system to help him carry it. Of course he is going to stumble.
How can you watch this clip and not need to watch the whole series?
God i miss this show
I know exactly how he feels.
The feeling that everyone leaves you, that you’re not good enough and something’s wrong with you. At least he had a girlfriend. Every girl I ever built up the courage to ask out turned me down flat. At least his coach saw something in him. Mine never did.

But, the one on one fatherly moments, and this one in particular take the show to another level! What makes it more impressive is that a lot of it was usually shot in one or two takes which often brought out the best in the actors. This scene is a great example of that!
Zach Gilford is an underrated actor
Now why did coach manhandle him like that 😭😭😭
Me too Matt. Me too
the best scene of the show?!
😲😢😢I felt this
Matts def the best character and in my eyes the main character besides coach. Its kind of like varsity blues where james vander beek was the main character and backup qb the best qb in the country and be became a star himself, and ended up being central to the story after that. Same with matt. He became qb and dated the other main characters daughter. He was a great guy with a great heart. He was like your every man character and so many people can relate to him.
I hadn't seen the seasons yet but I think coach is sometimes angry and rude with him beacuse Matthew is having a realtionship with his daughter and as a father of a young girl, his concerns and worries for her are on point. I will be watching the shoe after 5 days , because I had a paper after 5 days and after that I will be free and this season is on my prior list for sure.
Zach Gilford and Will Estes looks exactly alike
Sucks this season got cut short because of the writers strike. It was really building up something great
this was one of the few times I disagreed with coach. Take matt on a walk and talk things out. Don't throw him in a shower because he's felt like that his whole life!
Cold shower sobers you up real quick.
@@Alec_RTR that's true!
I think the shower was so his grandmother wouldn’t hear it
I’m not sure why everybody hates Season 2. It’s one of my favorites with a lot of my favorite scenes as well.
I think they would've made season 2 redeemable had the writers strike not happened, because there were so many gems (including this scene). However, that murder plot was all trash.
Be real, you've been waiting for this channel to release this scene since they started posting Season 2 clips.
