Feeling so normal about the thought of ted linking roy and jamie together from the start… roy was falling behind as a leader for the team, but also with his own love of football as his playing career came to and end. And ted saw that jamie needed a strong role model. We learn that jamie has always worshipped roy. And ted instructs roy to become a better leader, SPECIFICALLY by trying to lead jamie to be a better person. The end of Roy’s career as a player is linked, intrinsically, to the rise of Jamie’s career and therefore the start of Roy’s next chapter. Roy can only really become a coach through the work he does with jamie, which also allows him to open up in other areas of his life and become a better man. Jamie only becomes a better person because of what roy does when they’re still teammates, then with roy as a coach once roy sees Jamie’s weakest moment, and then his growth as a player follows obviously facilitated by Roy. They are cosmically perfectly intrinsically linked. I cannot believe this stupid show set up the most perfect star crossed enemies to begrudging coach/player to friends to lovers slow burn and fucked the landing.
