You okay, son?
Shoot, man, Fulmer's here.
I might as well go home.
What ya say, fellas?
What's going on?
I came all the way from Knoxville,
to see for myself.
Hey, Coach.
We drove from Clemson, nine hours!
Coach Fulmer, it's a real honor.
Coach Cotton, my pleasure. I watched
your program you've done really well.
I don't think there is any question
that you'll be at the next level soon.
Oh, well, you know,
we do all we can with what we got.
Is that Michael?
Is that O'Hair?
It's Oher.
Like a paddle in a boat. Oher.
You think we might see some drills?
Perhaps... I think all the Coaches
would appreciate it.
- Yeah?
- Oh, yes, sir. You bet.
Listen up, fellas! New board drill!
Big Mike, Jay Collis.
Best on best. Right here.
Let's go! Come on! come on!
On my whistle, men!
Wow!
Coach, thank you.
- Where you off to Coach?
- Back to South Carolina.
You tell Michael Oher,
if he can qualify with the grades...
Clemson wants him.
Yeah. Good luck with that, Brad!
Coach, you've done a great job
with this young man.
Oh, well he was little raw
when we first got him
but we, you know,
coached him up a little bit.
Hello, mom.
Did you know that to be eligible
for a Division One scholarship
Michael's gonna need
to make a 2.5 GPA?
Really?
His ACT is low and I don't see him doing
any better if he retakes it right there.
- What's his GPA now?
- 1.76.
Oh, that's not too bad, when you
consider where he started.
He's gonna have to make all A's this year.
I'm serious.
And that might not even be enough.
So he goes to a junior college?
Most inner city kids that go to JC
drop out in the first year.
His shot at the pros would go
out the window.
Pros? Are we even sure
he's gonna get college offers?
Michael, Nick Saban from LSU
I'm looking forward to you coming
down and visit us sometime.
Grady. I'm Lou Holtz from
South Carolina. I'm call...
We are very interested in having Michael
over to Knoxville for a visit.
- Phil Fulmer, from Tennessee.
- Uh huh. There's twenty more of them on there.
Fifty of 'em.
Any of those from Ole Miss?
No, they're not gonna start recruiting
until they hire a another coach.
Does make any difference
unless Michael makes his grades.
So, what are we going to do?
I understand you applied for
a teaching position at Wingate?
I wasn't religious enough for 'em.
I'm a spiritual person, Mrs. Tuohy, but
I have certain, shall we say... doubts.
Oh, I appreciate your honesty, Miss Sue.
- What's the situation with Michael?
- He needs to do better in school.
Obviously. Why the big push?
Well, he's in line for
football scholarship
if he gets his grades up.
- Is he considering Ole Miss?
- He'd better be.
- I'd love to work with him.
- Well, when would you like to start?
Ms. Tuohy... Umm... There's something
I don't usually tell many people, but
I feel it's something you should be aware of
before you hire me.
What is it?
I 'm a Democrat.
Okay.
- I don't understand it.
- Yet.
You don't understand it yet.
- How big is your head, Michael?
- Big.
And what's in there?
- A brain.
- A brain.
It's full of knowledge -
like a file cabinet with maps;
and shortcuts for figuring things out.
You'll get there, Michael Oher
because I'm here to help you use those maps
and reach your destination.
Like Sacagawea helped
Lewis and Clark.
Sacagawea?
We'll get to that.
And the history books have it wrong,
All you need to know
is I'll get you there.
Do you believe me?
You trust me, Michael?
Yes, Miss Sue.
Try it again.
Now, what's the next one?
Read that to me.
What does it say?
First, we have to find the constant.
Now, where is the constant?
Good. See?
Who'd thought we'd have a black son
before we knew a Democrat.
- Doorbell!
- I got it guys.
Coach, how are you? Come in.
- Sean Tuohy.
- Sean.
- Nick Saban. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to see you. Pleasure.
I appreciate the opportunity
to come in your home.
- That's my daughter, Collins.
- Hi. Pleasure to meet you.
- And you must be Leigh Anne.
- That would be me, Coach Saban.
- Nice to meet you.
- Me too.
Please, call me Nick.
With an incredible home.
The Windsor valances are a nice touch.
Oh, thank you. You obviously
have excellent taste.
Well we appreciate quality.
And recognize it when we see it.
Michael, why don't you come in here
Hello, Michael. Nick Saban.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- And you must be SJ.
- That's me.
Michael, why don't you and Nick
go into the living room and talk?
Can SJ come?
Absolutely.
We'll recruit the both of you.
All right.
I find him extremely handsome.
Yeah, I'm right here, Leigh Anne.
Yeah, I know.
So Michael, we would love to
get you down to LSU for visit.
We've got a great thing going there
right now,
you have an opportunity to be
successful as a person, as a student,
and an opportunity to be a part of the next
national championship team at LSU.
So what do you say?
Would you like to commit to a visit?
- Can I ask a question?
- Sure.
My brother and I are very close.
And so... I'm very afraid that
if he goes off to school,
I might not get to see him.
- So ...
- Go on.
I guess I was just wondering how much
access I'd have to him.
Well, SJ, you would have total access
to Michael.
But better than that, in his first game
in Tiger stadium,
we would like for you to lead
the team out of the tunnel.
- What do you think about that?
- Sounds good.
Come on in!
Greetings. I'm Lou Holtz.
The University of South Carolina.
Leigh Anne Tuohy. Nice to meet you.
Come on in. Michael!
Hello. I'm Tommy Tuberville.
Auburn University.
Leigh Anne Tuohy. Nice to meet you.
Michael!
Howdy, Houston Nutt.
University of Arkansas.
Leigh Anne Tuohy.
Very nice to meet you.
- Ole Miss cup, huh?
- Michael!
Oh, come on. You know this.
It's logical.
I guarantee you come to the
University of South Carolina
it will be the smartest decision
you've ever made.
We want you, we need you,
Mike, you need us.
Knoxville is a tremendous place
to live and...
I know there's lions, there's tigers,
there's bears...
Hey, there's only one razorback
in the world.
...and not only that, you would look great
in Gamecock red!
What's in if for me?
SJ, I'm gonna get you a hawg hat,
and the whole family a hawg hat.
Are you telling me,
that's the best you can do?
SJ, you remind me of me as a boy.
Coach, help me, help you.
I can get you a Gamecock headdress.
And with real feathers.
What you got for me, Phil?
SJ, I've been thinking a lot of
about that and one of the things
that I think will be special for both
of us is we'll walk arm in arm
to the center of Neely Stadium
at the first ball game,
and we will do the coin toss together.
How's that sound?
Coach Fulmer, a pleasure doing
business with you
My pleasure, CJ.
