As Young Sheldon comes to an end (May 16), the cast is a bit melancholy. Ending a hit show is something Craig T. Nelson has been through before, with the beloved Coach.
Both characters (Dale, who’s Meemaw’s beau on Sheldon, and Coach Hayden Fox) radiate a sense of decency; these are men you want in your life. Although a spinoff of the Thursday CBS sitcom has been announced — and Young Sheldon was a spinoff of The Big Bang Theory — Nelson did not yet know if his character would be involved.
