Coach Beard has a secret Traitors Club. It consists of himself, Nate and Jamie, ie people who have (at least in the opinion of one Willis Beard) betrayed Ted Lasso – but who have also learned the error of their ways through the goodness of Ted’s gentle heart.

(Yes, yes, you might argue that Jamie’s insulting remarks about Ted in 1x10 is a reasonable reaction to what, from Jamie’s POV, looks like Ted unreasonably dumping him, but a, I’m not sure that Beard knows that, and b, I’m not sure that Beard cares about that. You might also argue that Nate and Jamie have both learned a lot of stuff from people other than Ted, but: see the a and b of the previous sentence. And anyway, this is Beard’s club and you don’t get a say in his absurd selection criteria.)

Beard doesn’t inform anyone of the club’s existence. That includes the other members, Nate and Jamie, who just suddenly finds themselves regularly invited out for drinks with the most mysterious man either of them have ever met.

There are a lot of weird but oddly good talks about feelings. There are silences neither Jamie nor Nate know what to do with. And then there’s the football strategy chatter, which unites them all in a wild and eager frenzy, and an unexpected but pleasant sense of shared understanding.

Nate think it’s nice that Beard wants to hang and he’s not one to look a gift horse in the mouth anyway, so he doesn’t question the set-up. Jamie generally assumes that given the choice anyone would always choose to hang with him always, so. He’ll indulge his coach. They have a shared love of trivia.

Eventually Beard learns of Rebecca’s early transgressions, and (secretely) inducts her into the secret club. Club meetings get a whole lot more interesting from there on out.

Come on, tell me how we beat Manchester City. – We cannot beat Manchester City. — Dang it, Nate! That's not what I want to hear from my assistant coach on his first day. — It is hopeless. — Oh, I'm sorry. It's hopeless?

Ted has to learn how accept that people care about him beyond what he does for them

I really miss hearing you play. You do? Of course. Thought you hated it when I played. Why on earth would you think that? 'Cause you literally said that to me once, Dad. You said I wouldn't practise enough, how I was squandering my potential and wasting my privilege. You were given opportunities I never had, and so I expected a lot from you. Well, it scared the shit out of me. I know that now.

TED LASSO, 3.10

Diamond Dogs video chat because not even the Ted Lasso finale can separate these dorks.

No I won’t finish the backgrounds

[coachbeards]

I don't think we change per se, as much as we just...learn to accept who we've always been, you know?

Ted Lasso truly covers the whole spectrum:

1. Men who desperately need (more) therapy but refuse to acknowledge it

2. Women who desperately need (more) therapy but refuse to acknowledge it

3. Beings who desperately need (more) therapy but refuse to acknowledge it
