Freddie James — the legendary high school football coach featured in “Friday Night Lights” — has died.
Freddie passed away on Thursday morning … his family confirmed.
The coach famously led Texas’ Carter High School to a state championship in 1988 … before the title was revoked due to a “no-pass, no-play” rule involving a player.

His family shared that a funeral will take place later next month at Laurel Land Memorial Park … according to his obituary.
