Coach - L4D2

He comes across as a warm-hearted father figure with an optimistic attitude that is hard to disagree with. Despite his friendly demeanor, his experience as an actual coach makes him demand things of the other Survivors in a positive way - such as loudly encouraging them to get back on their feet when they are severely hurt and encouraging them to continue rather than give up. Coach can be seen as the father figure if not the official leader of the group. He appears to be a fairly pious man, at times leading prayers and reciting scripture to encourage the group.

Coach has an unhealthy obsession with food, reminiscing about his youth when he indulged in various foods such as cotton candy, popcorn, burgers, fries and drinks. He laments the closure of food stalls due to the Infection, and even claims that he wouldn't shoot an Infected if it was running at him with a food tray. He also makes extensive use of profanities, often calling female Infected "bitches" (particularly the Spitter and the Witch)[3] and during hectic events.

Coach also serves as the "brains" of the group, often brainstorming various ideas to get them out of situations - as shown when he decides to get the chopper's attention at the amusement park by starting up the Midnight Riders' pyrotechnics, and using the Burger Tank sign to catch Virgil's attention after returning with diesel for his boat after the group accidentally left behind their gun bag, which had flares in it.
