Craig T Nelson (Parenthood) will reprise his role as football coach Hayden Fox in the Universal Television comedy that originally ran on ABC for nine seasons until 1997.

Original creator Barry Kemp will return to pen the NBC follow-up and exec produce with Nelson.

The new version will see the now retired Fox called back to become the assistant coach to his own grown son, who is the new head coach at an Ivy League school in Pennsylvania.

No air date has yet been announced.
