Craig T. Nelson made sure to bring a piece of Hayden Fox with him when Coach wrapped in 1997.
For nine seasons, the actor, 80, starred as the passionate football coach for Minnesota State University’s fictional Screaming Eagles. The beloved character was largely revered for his, at-times, extreme approach to guiding his team to victory and his relatable approach to fatherhood.
