A string of new promotional photos forGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriagereveals that Meemaw will team up with George’sYoung Sheldonbest friend for a new scheme. After the release ofthe trailer for “Typhoid Georgiem"featuring Lance Barber’s return as the Cooper patriarch, CBS is on a roll when it comes to promoting what lies ahead on its top-rated comedy. Despite shifting some of its focus to new characters,Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriagehas kept some ofYoung Sheldon’s characters relevant. Moving forward, however, even those who had relatively minor roles in Sheldon’s origins story will also find themselves in the spinoff.
Paramount has shared several promotional stills forGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriageepisode 14, “A Sportsbook and a Breakup,” including the first look atDoc Farrow’s return as Coach Wilkins.

Why Coach Wilkins Pairs Up With Meemaw In Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage
Meemaw Is Back To Her Gambling Ways
According to the logline forGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriageepisode 14,Meemaw is running a sportsbook, and that isn’t exactly surprising, considering her history. She has always loved gambling and was once a successful den manager. What’s curious is how Coach Wilkins ties into all of this. The last time that Farrow’s character was on the small screen was in theYoung Sheldonfinale, as he broke down during George’s funeral service. Mainly depicted as the Cooper patriarch’s closest co-worker, he barely had any ties to the rest of Georgie’s family, let alone Meemaw.
Even Young Sheldon’s Biggest Hypocrite Cannot Believe How Vile Mary Has Become
Mary returns in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage episode 10, and even the way she acted surprised Young Sheldon’s most hypocritical character.
It all boilsdown to Coach Wilkins' ties to Medford High’s football team. In light ofGeorge’s unexpected death, it’s safe to assume that he took over his friend’s spot on the coaching roster. Meemaw’s side hustle may have reached him, hence why they connected. It’s also worth noting that while the Coopers and otherYoung Sheldoncharacters are barely inGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, all of them still live in the same town, which makes these team-ups fairly easy to stage. It would have been better if Missy somehow got involved in this plot.
