Worst Movie Coaches

A good buddy of mine stopped over last night and we were enlightening one another with movie trivia, when we started talking about Movie coaches and just how unbeliavable they can be. Now it seems that every feel good story in sports has to have a movie made after it and this is a time when some of the best (or worst) actors in hollywood get a chance to show there craft. The problem is it is really hard to be play a coach and it usually ends up in a horrible movie. So with out further adieu I present the Top 5 Worst movie coaches of all-time. I refuse to see movies like We Are Marshall and Grid Iron Gang so the Rock and Matthew McCaughney are safe for now.

#5 Tom Berenger (Jake Taylor) Major League II- Ok you are Tom Berenger, who has a pretty good acting career, you just get done with Major League which was pretty successful. Your agent comes to you with a sequal and says, "Well they dont want you as a player for the next year, they want you to retire and come back as the hitting coach". Berenger, you idiot, pass! I liked Major League I, but the sequel was horrible and Berenger as the coach that all the players respect is very unbelievable.

#4 Brian Dennehy (Bobby Knight) Season on the Brink: Brian Dennehy is hard to believe as Chris Farley's dad, how the hell are we going to believe his performance as one of the best basketball coaches of all time. Are you kidding me ESPN, between this Junction Boys, and 3, the boys at ESPN should have the movie privledges provoked. The only thing worse than this movie was the edited version played simontaneaosly on ESPN 2.

#3 Kevin Bacon (Jimmy Dolan) The Air Up There: There is a scene in the beginning of this movie wher Jimmy Dolan is playing a potential recruit in basketball and the kid is kind of cocky. Bacon who demonstrates no athletic ability in this film kicks the kids ass in one on one and the kid doesnt end up going to school. Yes this is how Bo Ryan and Roy Williams lure recruits in. Beat them with the old Jimmy Dolan shake n' bake. Let me tell you that is the opening scene and the movie gets much worse from here.

#2 Emilio Estavez (Gordon Bombay) Mighty Ducks I and II: To tell you what kind of motivator Estavez is I give you this quote. "I was like you, Charlie. When I played hockey, I was a total hot shot... tried to take control of every game. I wound up quitting. So I tried the law. Same thing. I ruled the courtroom, but inside I was a mess. Started drinking. Man, I was going down. But then this great thing happened, maybe the best thing ever: I got arrested and sentenced to community service. And there you were: Charlie and the Ducks. And as hard as I fought it, there you were. You gave me a life, Charlie, and I want to say thank you. I told Orien about all this when I talked to him about taking over. I told him that you were the heart of the team and that you would learn something from each other. I told him that you were the real Minnesota Miracle Man". Man it sends a chill down my spine. These are actually great movies if you want a good laugh. However the drunk, lawyer, sentenced to community service as a hockey coach, just is not a good idea.

#1 Nick Nolte (Pete Bell) Blue Chips: Nolte is obviously suposed to play a character like Bobby Knight, who appears in the movie. The problem is he may be worse then Dennehy. I mean this movie stinks from the start and a lot of the blame has to fall on the over acting of Nolte. I think him and Estevez should have switched roles because I may have bought him as a drunk hockey coach.
