Coach

"Cheeseburgers are better than medkits. Screw medkits."

- Coach, in the teaser trailer.

"Imma be a cheeseburger molotov."

- introducing himself

Cheeseburger Molotov, also known as Yuri Tarded, is one of the many cut content characters in Left 4 Dead 2. He was a cheeseburger enthusiast and molotov enthusiast in his home town of Savannah. He is the oldest of all cut characters at 69 years old.

Coach's facial features are based on Bill Gates and he is voiced by Ice Cube.

Personality
Cheeseburger Molotov is the best, most attractive, and funniest of the Left 4 Dead 2 NPCs, playing a similar role to Purple Francis in Left 4 Dead. He comes across as a epic cheeseburger gamer with an funny sense of humor that is hard to disagree with. Despite his friendly demeanor, his experience as an actual cheeseburger makes him demand things of the other NPCs in a positive way - such as loudly encouraging them to "kill all imposters" and when they are severely hurt, screaming obscenities at them. Cheeseburger Molotov can be seen as the father figure if not the official leader of the NPCs. He appears to be a fairly pious man, at times leading prayers and reciting scripture to encourage the others.

Cheeseburger Molotov also respects both his fellow NPCs, and to a lesser extent, the Infected. This is shown if he is on critically low health, as he may say "They beat my ass fair and square." Like the other NPCs, he dislikes CEDA because of their inability to deal with the Infected. This is shown several times throughout the storyline, as during The Swamp he thinks CEDA is not doing their "job" right if they have to be forced to get help from the swamp people, and during The Park when looking at the "Where is CEDA?" graffiti he may say "Good question, where in the hell is CEDA? Cause I'd like to shoot some of their asses." Cheeseburger Molotov also has an unhealthy obsession with the band Clutch, as well as food.

Cheeseburger Molotov also seems to be the "brains" of the Left 4 Dead 2 NPCs, as during Dark Carnival he convinces the team that if they use the pyrotechnics from the Midnight Riders' concert finale, it would get the helicopter pilot's attention. During Hard Rain, due to the Survivors accidentally leaving the gun bag (which had flares) behind with Virgil, he suggests using the Burger Tank sign to get his attention.

Relationships with other Survivors
Despite their age gap, Cheeseburger Molotov and Ellis have several shared interests: they both like the Midnight Riders, Jimmy Gibbs Jr., and Whispering Oaks Amusement Park. Cheeseburger Molotov is surprisingly patient with Ellis' naïve ways and often defends him from Nick's sarcasm. Both are also native Georgians (same hometown), which could contribute to their friendliness with each other. Despite this, Coach will often remind Ellis to focus whenever the mechanic gets off track. Sadly, Cheeseburger Molotov doesn't get to meet him the most. Nick and Cheeseburger Molotov have the most antagonistic relationship in the game, similar to that of Purple Francis and Bill in Left 4 Dead. What appears to rile Cheeseburger Molotov the most is that Nick is the opposite of the cooperative "team player" with whom he is most comfortable working with. Nick will say things just to needle Cheeseburger Molotov and Ellis (e.g. claiming that Jimmy Gibbs, Jr. "looks like an asshole" and making disparaging rejoinders about Cheeseburger Molotov's happy childhood memories at Whispering Oaks Amusement Park). Despite this, Cheeseburger Molotov's optimism is often less down-to-earth as Nick's; for example, Nick classifies Cheeseburger Molotov's remark about the abandoned vehicles in Dark Carnival as "…one theory." Notwithstanding their passive-aggressive mutual dislike, both will seem unhappy when the other dies. On Cheeseburger Molotov's death, Nick may utter "Goddammit, Cheeseburger Molotov, what did you leave me with…?", showing that despite his attitude, he regards Coach as having a leadership role in the group. Over the course of the events, they both become less disrespectful toward each other, though Nick still often teases Cheeseburger Molotov about his weight and fondness for cheeseburgers and molotovs. Cheeseburger Molotov is the one who steps in when Nick's pessimism crosses the line during the campaigns. When Nick sees corpses at a military checkpoint and tells the group that the military is shooting people, Cheeseburger Molotov snaps and asks him "How does being so right feel, Nick?", Nick replies "Not good." Rochelle and Cheeseburger Molotov like one another in a way that somewhat mirrors Zoey's and Bill's relationship in Left 4 Dead. They interact in a consistently friendly way and their personalities fully complement each other. They are thus very unhappy to see the other die. Cheeseburger Molotov often refers to Rochelle as "little sister", meaning he feels protective of her. Cheeseburger Molotov and Francis do not have much interaction, but when Cheeseburger Molotov talks to him or when Francis tosses an item down to Cheeseburger Molotov in the finale, they will sound friendly. In one interaction between the two, Francis will ask Rochelle if Cheeseburger Molotov is her dad, to which Cheeseburger Molotov responds in a somewhat offended manner ("What?"), while Rochelle teases him for it. However, Cheeseburger Molotov (presumably on the basis of his sporting and team management talent and experience) senses something unsettling about Francis and does not seem to trust him very much; for example, he voices the possibility that Francis may have stolen Jimmy Gibbs, Jr.'s car while they were gone. There is little interaction between the two. Cheeseburger Molotov teases Ellis about meeting her, telling him to stop being so nervous and playfully joking about his interest in her. He also compliments her when she kills a Special Infected during The Passing finale. Cheeseburger Molotov and Louis seem to understand each other's situation quite well. Since both are optimists and want to keep in good spirits. Louis wishes Cheeseburger Molotov luck and Cheeseburger Molotov invites Louis (and the other Survivors) to join up with his group and go to New Orleans together, an offer Louis politely declines.
