The character Tami Taylor of Friday Night Lights begins the show as merely the coach’s wife. However, that is certainly not all the character is destined for. Tami, played by Connie Britton, is the mom of two girls in the show and ultimately decides to go back to work. She ends up working alongside her husband at Dillon High School where she works as the guidance counselor. This can sometimes complicate the relationship between the two as some of the issues she must deal with include player academic eligibility. The character is also a great example of what it means for a working mom to share a workplace with her husband.
