 Champ Fields is known as the unluckiest coach in the history of sports. After being forced into an early retirement, he's given one last shot at greatness. Unfortunately, Champ is hired to coach The Comebacks, a talentless, slightly deranged college football team with a laughable roster and an even worse record. Armed with questionable morals, and weak players, Champ sets out to bring this team of losers together and make the impossible happen, win a game.
With a track record that boasts such successful comedies as Wedding Crashers, The Wedding Planner and the recently released, Employee of the Month, it is no wonder that Fox Atomic approached the partners at Tapestry Films to produce The Comebacks.
"Since we do a lot of youth oriented and big four quadrant comedies," begins producer Andrew Panay, "I think they thought we might be right for this kind of material. They sent us the script, we read it and we jointly agreed that this was something that we thought was hilarious and exciting. I think most everybody has seen a sports movie or a sports drama. How much fun would it be to poke fun at those movies and also poke fun at the sports world just in general on a large scale? It was perfect for our company."
