The Taylors face several decisions that could permanently change their lives; Julie's plans for the future surprise Coach and Tami; the Lions go to State.

Coach Taylor receives an offer he can't refuse, and Tim reassesses his future plans when an old flame returns to Dillon. Meanwhile, the fate of East Dillon's football program is decided.

The Taylors host Thanksgiving dinner; Julie and Landry receive an interesting proposition; Tim makes a difficult decision; East Dillon rallies around the Lions.

Coach makes an effort to temper the over-inflated expectations of East Dillon's fan base regarding the upcoming season. Tami is frustrated in her new job as East Dillon's guidance counsellor and Julie prepares to head off to college.

Coach betrays Tami's trust over a financial decision; tensions between Vince and Luke threaten the team's chances on the field; Tim helps Coach condition his players; Julie doesn't want to go to church.

Tensions in town run high as the highly anticipated Panthers-Lions game approaches. Unfortunately, Coach Taylor tells Luke he won't be playing in the big game.
