I feel like Beard goes where Ted goes. He doesn't feel like a real person to me -- more as a comic relief - side character. Although I did love that Beard specific episode last season.
I think Nate going back to Richmond would be cool, as HC or assistant, but I also think it would be satisfying for him to walk away from football completely and do something different. He's starting to find peace within himself, and he's apparently multi-talented - he could go anywhere and I think it would be cool... although my money is on him returning to Richmond.
