Fired Cheer Coach Fights for 15th Championship at New College
7 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Workaholic cheer coach Courteney Potter fired for misconduct, takes job at rival college
- Determined to win 15th championship, builds ragtag squad of misfits and outcasts
- Faces off against former assistant coach turned rival at old college
In November 2025, NBC premiered its new sitcom "Stumble," a hysterical mockumentary about the high-stakes world of junior college cheerleading. The show follows Courteney Potter, one of the winningest cheer coaches in college history, who is fired from her job at Sammy Davis Sr. Junior College (SDSJC) for drinking with her team and giving out awards for best booty.
Undeterred, Courteney takes a job 80 miles away at Headleston Junior College, home of the Buttons, where the cheer program is in disarray. With the sole member of the squad, Madonna, often collapsing on the mat due to narcolepsy, Courteney sets out to build a new team to compete in the Daytona Cheerleading Championships.
Rounding up a ragtag group of cheerleaders, including a kleptomaniac and a football player, Courteney finds herself facing off against her former assistant coach, Tammy Istiny, who now runs the cheer program at SDSJC. Despite the odds, Courteney is determined to win her 15th championship and officially surpass the coach who made her life a living hell during her own cheerleading days.
