The excellent work of H. Jon Benjamin is most commonly associated these days with the voice of Archer from Archer and Bob from Bob’s Burgers. But long before all that, he voiced the excellent Coach McGurk, the alcoholic soccer coach of the boy named Brendon from Home Movies. (Which you can now watch for free at Shout Factory TV.)
Coach McGurk may have been a down-on-his-luck, bad-with-women deadbeat, but that didn’t mean the wisdom he imparted on young Brendon — in the absence of a father — wasn’t completely legit. So, we’ve put together some of Coach McGurk’s most teachable moments and words of wisdom, which hold up every bit as true today as it did when the series aired over a decade ago.
