Remember the Titans: Interview with Real-Life Head Coach Herman Boone Part 1

[@toniruiz7106]

I have so much respect for this man. He deserves more recognition.

[@Mrswiserich83]

Why

[@lwmson]

Actually, he doesn't. In real life, he was said to be a real asshole who was extremely abusive to his players, so much so that he was eventually fired from T.C. as coach in 1979. The Hollywood image of him that was portrayed by Denzel was a watered down version of him that he was able to cash in on his own personal gain.

[@jeffreygao3956]

@@lwmson Well, he's gotten nicer.

[@lwmson]

@@jeffreygao3956 Lucrative speaking engagements can mellow even the meanest of us.

[@Zlist1994]

@@lwmson lol and you think his racist staff and half his students weren’t assholes towards him? He’s a legend and should have more recognition because what he was able to do at the time that he did with all the racism and adversity set against him, he still came out victorious and was able to unite a team that hated each other at a forced integrated high school. And they also went undefeated their first year together. Regardless of how much of an “Asshole” he was, he made history and brought people together that never would have if it weren’t for him. Maybe he had to be the bad guy and absorb all the hate so that the players would see him as the ‘big bad wolf’ and not hate each other so much. Gave them a common Enemy. I just give respect where it’s due.

RIP Coach Herman Boone. Died today of cancer at 84.

What’s today

[@lennyg3684]

RIP Coach Boone, you have been an inspiration to all football programs across this country.

[@beb70s]

The one thing I always loved about football was that it is the ultimate team sport. I played HS football starting in 1973 and it was during a time when there was still a lot of racial unrest including race riots at our HS. Our football team was also undefeated that year and integrated about 50/50. With us it was always we were on the football team first. We had each others backs on and off the field. It taught be the true meaning of brotherhood. We never looked at each other as black/white, just teammates going to war each week completely dependent on each other.

[@jeffreygao3956]

Well, if you're still playing I'll gladly cheer for you.

[@chuckd9606]

He is a black man. It just looks like he has vitiligo which is skin disorder which subjects the person's skin to a lack of melanin

[@howardberry7064]

Very true and exact

[@j4vaunte]

Exactly

[@thomasboutin6045]

Who cares ? Respect his character-

@@thomasboutin6045 He's obviously addressing those that do care. Prentending that is doesn't matter is simply pretending, it accomplishes nothing.

Rest In Peace coach Boone

[@jeffreygao3956]

Well, I'm sure making a more accurate Remember the Titans wouldn't have worked because it'd be too mundane. Mr. Boone's legacy will live on in all of us.

[@chrispap4957]

Did not know that, movies based on true stories are never totally accurate, but coach Yoast and coach Boone overcame a lot of adversity in a tough time, especially in the south, and it’s a great story and awesome movie...

[@jeffnaslund]

I remember those days

[@kuttnkornerz317]

RIP Coach Fly High 🙏

Come Thruuuu bruh bruh❗❗❗knew dat for 20 years.. 💯 God Got Us Bruh💲🗽🙏🔥 #blessins 🤞

[@Notclarkson1]

May he Rest In Peace

[@buckwild6552]

It was sad that they tried to pit Coach Herman and Coach Yoast against each other, it was great that Coach Yoast could swallow his pride , and still work with the token who was thrown in the lion pit and was set up to fail. But do to both taking a stand they both equally contributed 50% to make this a successful journey, that we all got to be apart of.

What is that? Michael Jacksons Ghost​

a disease that causes you to lose color in your skin, some people choose to bleach to make it less noticeable like Michael Jackson, others choose not to like Winnie Harlow.

[@tomd8007]

wow he looks white now

[@kwasiaking185]

Tom D people’s pigmentation can change as they age. It could be due to mineral deficiencies.

[@jeffreygao3956]

He was unfortunately ill then.

[@cruzintheraw]

It appears he is overdramatizing the situation... the man succeeded in coaching and going undefeated, and I am certain it was difficult, but really, C'mon man.

[@jenniferharding-williams1937]

CruzintheRaw Where are you from? I am from the state of Maryland, Prince George's County to be exact. Alexandria, Virginia is not that far. What Coach Boone was describing was very real. He had to coach under very difficult circumstances. Racism plagued the area. What he did with the team was nothing less than absolutely amazing.
