Ted Lasso Theory: Colin Will Chip Away At Nate – Looper

Nate already seems to be on the path to redemption. It is hard to ignore the Star Wars allusion in Season 3 that points to the dark side. Rupert’s office was clearly designed by Emperor Palpatine, leaving little nuance to the evilness of his character. U/onekrazykat wondered if Nate may turn against Rupert once he realizes how toxic his boss is. But many fans feel that this is Colin’s time to shine, and he may be just the person to bring Nate back into the fold using the tools Ted taught him.

U/sorafell28 also considered the possibility that Colin’s successes on the pitch may affect Nate, stating: “Colin will turn up and have the game of his life and show Nate that care is the best way to help a player grow.” This scenario is the best example of the “Ted Lasso” way. It isn’t force or malice that teaches the best lessons, but that of generosity. Colin was once just another player who followed the herd and Jamie’s (Phil Dunster) every command. But with Ted’s influence, he could show Nate that kindness can be an amazing tool.

“Nate will try to play mind games and leave Colin alone on offense, force him to shoot instead of Sam/Jamie/Dani. Colin will come through with a game winning goal,” u/calartnick considered. This would prove to Nate that despite his resentments, Ted’s way works.
