- (Highlights only) This documentary paints a compelling portrait of Taurean Charles, a high school football player for Miami's Northwestern Bulls. Located in Miami's impoverished Liberty neighborhood, Northwestern high has a history as a breeding ground for college football and NFL players. Led to believe that football is his only ticket out, Charles focuses all his efforts on earning a place on a Division I collegiate team, letting his grades suffer in the process. But if Charles can't raise his SAT score to meet the NCAA's standards, he might never escape his inner city life. As Charles struggles to meet demands from his coaches, family, and society, he wonders who he can actually trust. YEAR OF THE BULL reveals the immense pressures facing poor black youth, and exposes the violent and cruel methods used by coaches to push young athletes.

i was on this team. a large majority of us went on to college and graduated. i did with honors and is now starting a publication company. those coaches helped me become the man i am today. they we dad when there wasn't a dad at home. we needed them. if it wasn't for them, we would not be productive citizens. to you all who don't know the truth, i just wrote it.

💯 !!!!!!!
Proud of yall brothers. ❤
I get so tired of weak people saying that these coaches are bad. 1. This was the #5 team in the nation when this was filmed. 2. People do not know about life in inner city Miami need to spend time there and research the area. I have friends and teammates that are from there. You can not be a soft coach coaching in Miami, Fl...
3. These coaches played at the school where they are coaching. These coaches are going to do whatever to make sure their players stay of the street and getnout of the hood. Your fantasy life is different from the reality that others live.
Truth. Boys crave discipline, too. In inner city schools like Miami you can't just take away a kid's playing time, etc. Kids need coaches that relate to them on a level they know and scrummin is what they know. It's reality. Life isn't a movie.
Alfred, you couldn't be more right. Northwestern is a powerhouse for a reason. I love these coaches, they are street guys just like their players & they play street, smash mouth style.
These coaches are horrible...... There is a reason why most of these players fail at life following football and even fail at football.
They failed at Football for a reason. BAD COACHING. They had no clue what to do when they entered the real world and even in the NCAA
Mark Steingart it's not bad coaching if they make it to the playoffs every year
This documentary is a classic
note to self: never go to a black mans house and take their remote control. especially if i'm wearing the same clothes he got on
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LMAO
For anyone who thinks the coaches here are bad coaches or are too hard ...you don't know what real love is... My mother grew up on the streets of Jamaica and lived in a wood shack in Kingston Jamaica... She now is a Doctor and runs one of the biggest hospitals in the US. She raised me the only way she knew..she raised me HARD. She is older now and looks back on some of the beatings and the hard times with regret ...but I know she was hard on me because she came from nothing and knew it was her job to prepare me for the world. life is hard... Life is EXTRA hard if your a black man in america and one slip up, or one moment of weakness where you lost control could land you in a cage like an animal. Too much love and kindness from your family makes you soft and weak. You grow up soft and spoiled and learn to rely on their money and their help when things get hard. Too hard and tough of an upbringing and it makes the kid angry and rebellious. You have to find a balance when raising a child...
Some Parents think raising a kid is about buying them what they want, keeping them quietly entertained for most of the day and being their "friend" (Please Timmy do your homework...I will get you some Ice cream later if you do! FUCK THAT let my Jamaican mother come home with dishes full in the sink and no homework done...lord jesus may God help you. She would pull her car into the driveway and my heart rate would spike...Mom's Home...oh fuck!!)...The kids grow up and dont fear the parents, they dont know what it's like to wake up at 6 am, cook breakfast, and go work two jobs with no days off and somehow fit in night classes to make ends meet... They dont respect that because they literally dont understand how hard it is...They view their parents like they are equals and talk back and don't listen to sound advice.They listen and respect to their knuckle head friends from school and not their own mother and father who brought them into this world. Kids need to respect and fear their parents a little bit. You can't make something Extraordinary without great effort and great sacrifice... You got parents out here who let the internet, cell phones and the TV raise their kids and then are so confused when they have no control over their kids when they are older. The Coaches in this video are extra hard because they know that football may be the only way out for some kids and if they lose the respect and the fear from the Alpha's they will lose respect and control of the whole group.
If this doesn't pump you up, then you don't get football. Complain all you want, the results speak for itself. Ranked #1 national highschool champs. 15-20 division 1 athletes. These coaches got everything out of their players. It's obvious.
@ridedamaverick You asked me what type of man i became. I was the first in my family to attend college. I am a graduate of Florida A&M University's School of Journalism and Graphic Communications. I graduated with a 3.5 G.P.A. I have worked for ESPN, Gannett (company which owns USA Today), WPDE and WCTV in a producer role. The Discipline I received from my coaches helped me get to those places.I never imagined being in the harsh conditions of liberty city that i would have seen the world.

2021 and Year of the Bull still goes hard, these young bucks dont know about real football.
These new kids these days would have never made it lol. I miss high school football coaches like that
My coach was just like that saw him a year ago told him I'm selling insurance and engaged and he hugged me dudes was so hard on me
I played HS sports in this gen and yeah it's kinda soft. I actually prefer the coaches to be more on the drill sergeant side, motivates you to become a lot better
@@sw120 fr those the coaches players will run through a wall for
i play at miami northestern right now i this gen, we still go jail house in the courty yard, we still run the stairs with 45 pound metal weights, we still do mojos, still running around the field year "northwestern bulls, where at!!!" , and still suiting up in blue and gold on fridays night to continue the legacy of being a bull at traz. and if it wasnt illegal coach teddy would have no problem making us do everything yall did
@@official_drockGo Bulls 🤘🏾
The cowboys need coaches like this
10 straight super bowls if they did
YO MAMA IN THE FUCKIN STANDS!!
Coach's jeans are high and tight
Gabriel Salinas coach on fleek
Teddy Loons sent me here.
This was one of the first youtube videos I watched. Good memories.
Swear
@ridedamaverick First of all, the coaches in this film treated us like human beings. Secondly, the kid accused of rape was not on this team; he was on the team three year's later. And he was never found guilty of the villainous act. I worked hard for my G.P.A. i double majored. why would you disrespect FAMU in such an inappropriate manner? What is your problem? Northwestern has produced doctors, lawyers, fortune 500 company executives, congressman and senators. Do research before you talk.
I look at this clip and this is just a microcosm of what we were able to do. I played next to Taurean every game. He was our leader on our defense. We all developed together. Coach Horace gave us the freedom and the edge we needed at the time. Like Coach Max said, "This s#$% should be easy.." It was too easy at times. As a Defense, we could stop anybody. As a D-Line, we were hungry. Coach Horace taught us to play with no regard for our opponents. Coach Max taught us to play as a unit. We could adjust on the fly. I never played with a group of guys like that in my life. We may have lost the Championship game, but we had something special.
It's crazy you can go all through this and get gems like this from national champs
exactly why MIA always produces top college recruits
you get arrested now for trying to discipline black youth like this today. but this is the tough love needed sometimes
was boutta say this shit WOULD NOT fly today 😂😂😂😂
i use to watch this in highschool before football games
I do now
pantherfan 4055 imagine actually being there GOOD TIMES
pantherfan 4055 so did I ‘06
Someone post the whole documentary. This is how high school football works in in inner-city Miami. Can't be soft playing ball in Dade. So much is at stake for these players; it's football or the streets.
+Richard Hudson Bullshit....you are saying these kids don't have the academic ability? Only a small percentage make it to the college level and very few play professionally. Football or the streets is a sad commentary for these black kids....
it shows that its wrong in the video the kid who lacked discipline fought the coach..that tells you how good it works for anyone dumb enough to argue it.
Ps he got kicked out of college for throwing a keg at someones face. That coward way of coaching doesnt do shit.
Gotta grow up before you expect your players to.
@@seheadhunter50 real shit
teddy bridgewater and amari cooper went to this school in Miami
And LaVonte David

You can question the coaching methods but you can't question the results... These kids are the ones that make it to the NFL.
I remember our high school football coaches showed us this gem. Those were some good times.
This is a classic!! I remember when they came to Texas and played #2 in nation Southlake Carrol..Mannn Luke was in the crowd and it was lit. #1NW won but it was very unfamiliar to see Southlake take a L tho.
I played in that team In 07. Tommy streeter
@1coolguy9 No your wrong. Coach max ( the one in the beginning) works at Miami Central, they just won 6A state championship. The coach who was fighting the player works for UM and before that he worked at Booker T Washington. Schools Wish they had coaches like these to keep there players in line and help them win.
I love these coaches....this team produced more nfl players than most other high caliber hs teams...Sean spence, t Bridgewater, Eli rogers,amazing amari,I think Marcus forston,Erie Sims?,damnit just go look....so yeah I wish coaches was.mprre like these guys...they put out top prospects consistently.
I went to that school 07-08 year we won state.....Da coaches was tough bruh!!! You gotta understand tha way we was raised, u cant make it to state and come back with nothin less than a state title and thats why we CHAMPS
Back in the days this how football was, this showed the coach who wanted to play and who just wanted to say they were on the team. Their wasn't no parents complaining because they already knew what the peat was. Now, a days anybody can play football, the coaches babying the kids, and parents yelling at the coach. That's why you see teams with coaches like these dominating the game, because they want the kids to succeed and will push them until they got no more in them
So much comedic material in this 😂
Man you is not lying man lmfaoo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
high school football in Miami serious
You are dead on brotha!! Great observation, well done!
man nobody should hate on this video.all the best players come from coaches like this. All these kids are ready for the next level.its hard to find teams like this anymore cause nowadays if someone did that to their son they would file a law suite. Keep doin what yall doin.
This is real coaching. I played basketball high school and aau basketball. My coach played for Bobby Knight. I had that coach from 7th grade all the way up through senior year. I can laugh now but the look on some of those boys faces in the first few practices lol. Those were the same boys though who looked surprised everytime they chewed our asses out lol. Idc it toughened us up and helped mold us into being men.
This is what attitude football is about. It makes them tough.
Kids miss this kind of love and coaching due to a soft sucker culture in America.
When You Are A MIAMI NORTHWESTERN BULL, YOU ARE A BULL 4 LIFE... ( BULL 4 LIFE! ) We Take This Saying Very Serious Down Here In Miami. Go Hard or Go Home! No Bull Shit!
I bought this DVD at a Big Lots in Sacramento as a middle school kid in the early 2000s.
It changed my life, and I went on to play football. 🏈
1 minute mark. Ice Harris. Got me hyped to have him at RB coach at the U.
This is how our coaches were in the late 90s, but the Coal fields of WV style. I'd love to have been part of a team with such passionate leaders trying to motivate me.
i wish we had coaches like this in high school
Thank you Tom Segura and "Your Moms House Podcast" for putting me onto this
we need the full documentary
man, back in Detroit, had a coach TOUCHED us like that, they would've lost their job. No questions.
i was actually on this team. those coaches taught us how to be men. LIFE is tough, so they had to instill tougness, so we could fight and survive. A lot of us are college graduates. (for many, the first to achieve such a task.) THANK YOU to my coaches for those moments that instilled discipline and character.
I can't do nothing but smile. Brotherhood
These kids today couldn’t handle this coaching 💀
4:15 always cracked me up
DROP KICK ME!
Barrington Irving was on this team. First Black pilot to fly a single engine plane around the world. Check his interview out on The Breakfast Club.
now thats practice
Hex Rell hell yea
it shows that its wrong in the video the kid who lacked discipline fought the coach..that tells you how good it works for anyone dumb enough to argue it.
seheadhunter50 that’s what playing in the trenches is like
seheadhunter50 what you gonna do?
You accusin' me T. Diddy of stealing pissa? That kid had me cracking up.
That's some intense ass stuff.
Insanely talented kids come out of that program.
Teddy Bridgewater went to this school...SKOL!!!!
this is the inner city. the ghetto. if havent been here then u will ever understand the coaching nor the culture. these kids arent angels. its tuff love. they werent traumatized from the coaching because what goes on n the community is FAR worst than u can imagine.
Vinny your dad has gone 52-69 since coaching at FHS...That's good coaching right there.
THIS SHIT IS BIG TIME!!!
I just watched this documentary last night......Pretty intense stuff! What a shame about what happened to Taurean though.....I would've liked to see him make it after going through all that shit.
could you upload the entire movie? id really like to see it
Imagine the youth of today trying to deal with this. SOFT
I love this video
High school kids looking like grown ass men😂
walking on that field is like magical, but they rarely use that field anymore for practicing
Someone needs to download this
I went to northwestern and i can tell you that football is a serious thing in south Florida, especially in Miami. These coaches have known some of the players for much longer time than the 4 years they spend in high school. for some they are the only male figures in their lives and quite possible the only people that can get through to them.
Totally here because of twitter
Real life isn’t nice either. Coaches like this get ya ready.
My dad asked me did i want to attend MNW due to sometimes living with my grandmother on NW 75 Street. But being my mom and dads house had central air and all of my friends were down south i opted out. Now that im older i wish like hell i did but lords knows if i did i probably would have been a serious street dude with kids at a young age.
i remember this on dvd
Lol 5:42 when the coach runs at him he is like "Al right, all right, all right..." and like runs away.
Northwestern football program is no JOKE, COACHES have these kids ready every game. Yo i,m from ATL an i want to see them play
@ridedamaverick I also got into college due to my academic accomplishments. It wasn't just football. the game served as a spring board to enter rooms and make connections you may never make. and If you want to discuss anything with me, I will be in Tallahassee very soon. I am speaking to a panel of FAMU students on September 9th from 3pm - 6pm.

Rest in Peace to Horace Morris.

I'm frm pittsburgh Pa....a football city fosho 💯 but florida different especially back then watching this documentary use to have me hype rs o yeah can't forget dat name T Diddy is crazy😂😂
I was jus finna comment that shit 😂😂
Some of you don't get it. Lots of these kids are from the hood. These coaches keep them in line. Not only that, but these guys are the biggest dynasty in High School football. Go look at the kids they send to D1 schools and how many they have sent to the NFL. It's no joke. That is how they have to run it with these kids, otherwise the kids would take over. BTW, Taurean Charles was kicked off the Florida football team for multiple problems. Should have gotten his head in check.
some players need to be shouted at,others need a quiet chat,depends on the individual,their way obviously works 'cause they have two championships,the players respond to them,they're good coaches
Anybody know where I can find the full documentary?
where did u find it?
Where can I watch this ??
#2 was funny as hell!!! lmao
I'm surprised this has so many thumbs downs. Everything you said is true. Most likely the will not all be signed and for those who aren't what are they to do with memories of coaches screaming at them, calling them worthless?
these coaches=good team u see how they react to this its amazing
All of yall who saying they were bullying the players then you really don't understand ands it's probably because you don't play sports. I wish I had a coach that was willing to get fired before he let me act like that. Even though most of the kids might not be successful financially I bet they make up for it in character.
+koolaidman936 Let a white coach attack a black player and see how long he keeps his job!
