Relationships with other Survivors
Coach is the voice of reason and authority of the team in a similar way to Bill, and often retains 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 - for example, shouting at them to get on their feet.
 * Ellis: Despite their age gap, Coach and Ellis have several shared interests; they both like the Midnight Riders and Jimmy Gibbs Jr. (although Coach may be familiar with Jimmy Gibbs Sr. as he excitedly says "Jimmy Gibbs!"), and both have a fondness for Whispering Oaks amusement park. Coach is surprisingly patient of Ellis' naïve ways and defends him whenever Nick is negative or sarcastic toward him. Both are also native Georgians, which could contribute to their friendliness.
 * Nick: Nick and Coach appear to have a "love-hate" relationship, similar to what Francis and Bill have. They often make fun of each other, and it is apparent that Coach dislikes Nick's attitude, but both seem unhappy to see the other die. Over the course of the events, they both become less hateful toward each other. Coach also seems to hold an authority over Nick, saying "You can make yourself a new life right here" if Nick's negativity annoys Coach, to which Nick quickly recoils and follows him. Despite their insulting, Coach believes that Nick has potential, so he doesn't leave him behind.
 * Rochelle: Rochelle appears to like Coach in a way that somewhat resembles Zoey's and Bill's relationship. They act friendly to each other, but not in a romantic way. They compliment each other, and are quite unhappy to see the other die. Coach often refers to Rochelle as "little sister", meaning he feels protective of her. Rochelle feels for Coach sometimes, as shown when Coach was praying that the food court be safe by God, Rochelle tells God to make the food court safe for him, althought she may insult him when he dies, saying " Do you think Coach was his first or last name?".
