re: Friday Night Lights

I just watched this week's episode and was wondering the same thing.

My guess is the other Dillon boosters forced Joe McCoy out after the embarrassing loss to East Dillon last year. Remember that Joe led the effort to have Eric replaced with Aikman.

The other Dillon boosters realized what a mistake it was to let Eric go, and Joe McCoy lost his influence (which would also explain why Mac, one of Eric's old assistants, is now the head coach).

My guess is Joe and J.D. packed up, took Wade Aikman with them, and headed for West Canaan (or who knows where).

Again, this is just what I came up with in about five minutes. I could be totally wrong.
