Don’t get us wrong… we loved Damon Wayans Jr. in the "New Girl" pilot and we loved him even more as "Happy Endings’" Brad.

But by the time ABC pulled the plug on "Happy Endings" and Wayans returned to Apt. 4D, his services were no longer needed. Coach’s comeback messed with the group dynamic far more than Nick and Jess’ relationship ever did, and it always felt like the show was struggling to find storylines for Coach before he disappeared again ahead of Season 5.

He was funny and he wasn't the worst addition to this show's cast at all. He's a good buddy of Lamorne and both their characters, Winston and Coach, are good friends, TBH, IMO.
