He offers him an assistant coaching college football position at Shane State in Florida, but Eric politely declines as he is content with his life in Dillon.

Vince also ignores Eric's final play and instead throws a successful touchdown with just a few seconds left, hoping to impress some college recruiters that are watching the game.
"[6] Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly wrote, "It was terrific to see Scott Porter put in a final-season appearance, and that his character's life-story seems to have turned out well.
The dialogue between Jason and Coach Eric was marvelous; no other TV actor can play that sort of joshing, paternal, poker-faced affection the way Kyle Chandler can.
