The coach thing with the star player and the "great high school football coach" was obviously an important plot point. It was a huge backhanded compliment.

I'm pretty sure we're supposed to think that coach understood he was being insulted and now there is going to be a lot of stuff about how he's not suited for the college environment where it's not his little old town anymore.

It could go either way, with coach being more and more shut out of the inner circle w/ the college team, or with him pwning and eventually getting their respect.

I imagine it's going to be something like, he eventually pwns at the college level, and when he final gets offered "acceptance" of some kind he turns it down to go back to dillon where the football is "pure".
