Not sure why that would be a slap in the face to anyone. Laney was the top ranked team in the nation last season.

I think CCSF turned it down because they already did something similar like 10 years ago called 4th and Goal

Stop it.
George Rush's CCSF Rams were legendary.
Jimmy Collins is as pedestrian as they come.
And please don't try with the "He won The Dirty 30" argument. He did that wish George Rush's guys.
Not sure I’d want to jump at the chance to be featured. Yes they have showcased some top level JC programs. But really it is more of a depressing show imo. Some of the locations look absolutely terrible. And some of the student-athletes look almost illiterate and seem to be way out of their element academically even at the Juco level.
The coaches are the stars of the show, but I just don’t know if John Beam will be the entertainment factor that a Buddy Stephens is. Maybe that will actually work out in a positive way, I just don’t think of a Laney is a last chance type of place. Scooba Mississippi, yeah last chance or you followed the road sign to almost hell. A lot of emphasis on failures, which I get, it’s why it’s last chance U. Just not sure Laney fits the same profile.

I guess my question would be what makes Laney so much different than any other JC program. Seems more than just a little elitist to think they are somehow superior.
Have you watched the show? My point was the previous coaches/programs come off as dooshes (albeit successful so in the end can’t knock them to
I much) but Beam and the Laney program doesn’t seem to project that image.
Beam will be a star. Mark my words. You have to have been around the man to understand what exactly he will bring to the table.
Buddy is a great coach but he is a hot head.
Jason Brown is an arrogant tool. I'm not sure how he gets guys to play for him. He can't coach worth a lick either.
Beam has been legendary. McClymonds is what they are only because Beam is at Laney. When Beam was at Skyline OAL championships were hard to come by for anyone other than the Titans. Laney was in the toilet when Uch brought him in as his OC and they've been very good since. Everyone expected CSM to take over when Rush retired and to their credit, they certainly closed the gap. I don't think City or CSM expected to be side swiped by Laney.
I watched a episode or two, reality TV frankly does nothing for me. But again story line is kids seeking a last chance through JC football. Seems to me Laney fits that bill perfectly. I don’t know the coach there and maybe he won’t translate over to reality TV I don’t know. But I’m pretty positive the players will be much like players on any other team regardless of zip code.
