New Girl: Every Main Character, Ranked
6. Coach
After appearing in the pilot episode of New Girl, Damon Wayans Jr. was replaced by Lamorne Morris for the series moving forward. It wasn't until season three that Coach returned to apartment 4D to take up a major recurring role in the series.
With Coach came his own brand of strangely intense humour that was essentially centred around sports, masculinity, and the inability to speak to or be friends with women. However, this was balanced well with the same kind of weird energy that typically gelled the group together throughout the years.
He initially had no interest in being friends with Jess, who he genuinely thought was called Jebecca, but as the series went on he became a lot more tolerable. However, fans can certainly be glad they got Winston for the first few seasons instead.
He properly entered the series late, and he left early, as he moved to New York to be with his girlfriend May on the East Coast. This only gave fans two full seasons of Coach, and though he was slightly more one dimensional than many of the other main characters, more time throughout the series may well have changed this.
