Netflix Coach Fired for 'Idiots' Remark

Buddy Stephens, the East Mississippi Community College coach who gained fame through Netflix's 'Last Chance U' documentary series, has been terminated following his public criticism of officials. Stephens referred to league officials as 'idiots' after they announced changes to the competitive structure affecting his team.
