Following the devastating loss of his wife, Josh Edward, a career Army officer, realizes that he must create a new life for him and his son, Bobby. In a moment of inspiration, Josh, who did not attend college, decides to retire and go to school with Bobby, who welcomes the idea. They choose the University of Montana where Bobby makes the football team. Coach Brent Jenkins, aware of Josh’s coaching skills, invites him to work with his punter to find out if he has the skills to fill the vacant placekicking position.
Josh works with the punter for a week and tells Brent he should find someone else for the job. Brent agrees and recruits Josh for the position. Under protest Josh agrees and a week later the coach convinces him to accept another job: back-up quarterback.
In the fourth quarter of their opening game against Portland State, the starting quarterback suffers a broken collarbone and Josh suddenly finds himself running the team. Josh, at age forty-four, leads the Grizzlies to an undefeated season and becomes a father figure to many of his teammates, who nickname him, “Daddy.”
Josh and Bobby’s home, known as ‘Edward’s Hangout,’ is a safe-haven, a place where the players talk about matters that are vital to them. Since many of their fathers, uncles, and friends served in Vietnam it becomes one of the main topics of conversation. Josh, after three tours in Vietnam, is both able and willing to explain the affect that service there had on him and on their loved ones.
