A darker turn for the cheerful show.
, he managed to keep the gig. People love him, the team played well, and here we are with Ted preparing for his third season in charge. It brings with it a burning question: what the hell is he still doing here?season 3, which premieres on March 15th. It includes very light spoilers.’s third season is best described as an existential crisis for the perpetually chipper coach.
Ted was already going through a lot, and life doesn’t get any easier as the new season begins. It opens with the coach dropping off his son for the long flight home after an extended visit in London. Then he heads to the office to learn that every newspaper and website in the country has predicted AFC Richmond to finish dead last this year.
Nate’s turn is especially important here. His rise has been dramatic: at the start of the show, he was in charge of team uniforms, was eventually promoted to assistant coach, and, after both proving himself a tactical genius and having a falling out with Ted, is now in charge of a contending team. That’s quite the rise in two years.
Nate is a sympathetic villain, of course, and it’s easy to understand why, after years of being underappreciated at work and at home, he embraces the support of Rupert. Everyone wants to feel needed. But on the other hand, he’s also become a real dick, the IRL version of a troll who will say anything if it gets a reaction. The show is clearly building up to some kind of showdown between Nate and Ted’s contrasting styles: a cartoonish villain against a cartoonishly cheerful hero.
The show seems to be setting him up for a loss on the field — but Ted could use a win of any kind. Otherwise, what’s the point in continuing to stick around?
