The Episode
Coach Taylor rebuilds from nothing at East Dillon High and its struggling Lions.
TV Reviewer's Take
A bold reinvention: Coach Taylor starts from nothing at East Dillon, and the show rediscovers its underdog soul with a near-new cast. One of TV's gutsiest course corrections.

“If the Season 4 premiere is any indication, rooting for the underdogs won't be difficult at all.”Todd Martens, Los Angeles Times
