NBC has taken its Coach revival off its roster.

Mashable has confirmed that NBC has nixed plans for the series, in which Craig T. Nelson was set to reprise his iconic role with the original show's writer/executive producer Barry Kemp.

NBC had no comment.

The revival had earned itself a season order back in March.

Nelson and original executive producer Barry Kemp were on board for the multi-cam, which was going to be set 18 years after the last episode.

Per the premise, Nelson's Coach Hayden Fox was going to come out of retirement to help his son coach a very green team at an Ivy League university in Pennsylvania.

Coach was set to join a host of other former series getting second life on television likeThe X-Files, Heroes, and Twin Peaks, which had its own set of problems on the road to revival but was ultimately saved.

Now, time to call your dad. If he's anything like mine, he's going to be bummed.

The good news is we can all get our Craig T. Nelson fix by rewatching Parenthood, which you should have been doing anyway.
