Coach Beiste here ready for another winning football season.   Being a woman as a football coach might seem strange but I am tough on these boys and they respect me.  I was made fun of when I was growing up because of my size and deep voice but I have found my way in life. I have a good friend in Will Schuester.  Now Sue Sylvester I never let my guard down to anything she has up her sleeve!  This past year was an eventful one for sure.  I married the love of my life football recruiter Cooter.  He became abusive and with the help of Mercedes, Brittany, and Santana I realized that I needed to leave him. So I did.  I loved myself more!  What will this year bring .

Her first recurring role after Knights was as a character named "Dot" on the popular show Married... with Children in the mid-90s. She appeared in five episodes over two seasons. Jones' next break was on the kids show Lizzie McGuire as Coach Kelly. Since then, she has appeared in popular shows Nip/Tuck, Desperate Housewives, and Prison Break, among others.
