'''Coach Z''' is the "[[Coach (sport)|coach]]" of the residents of [[Free Country, USA]], though it is unclear exactly which sports he coaches. While occasionally tiresome, and burdened with "more than two" socially awkward problems, he is always ready to offer encouragement and is rarely critical of anyone.

<span id="characterization"></span>
== <span class="mw-headline">Characterization</span> ==

Coach Z can often be found at the [[Gymnasium|gymnasium]] or [[Race Track|race track]] (indeed, he seems to live in the accompanying [[Locker Room|locker room]]), providing vague coaching or similar involvement with various athletics. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which has lost its meaning through time. In addition to working as a coach, Coach Z works with [[Homestar Runner]] and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]]. Coach Z is also the janitor at [[The Office|the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Coach Z owns four [[Tony Award|Tony awards]], suggesting that he may have a background in theater. Despite his numerous jobs, Coach Z has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year.

Coach Z is a fan of [[Hip Hop|hip hop]] and rap music, particularly the [[Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: he released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]", which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]]; his solo album "The Z Is All Up Ins", featuring the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]"; and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]). Although his usual rapping prowess consists mainly of "count[ing] to two over and over again", as explained in [[nightlife]], he once had a very successful career during his days in the [[Two-O Duo]]. More recent works such as "[[Loading Screens]]" and "[[Fish Eye Lens]]" may indicate that his rap skills are starting to improve.

Over the hill?

</div>

</div>

</div>
Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is somewhat ambiguous, though he typically is portrayed as older than characters like Strong Bad and Homestar: he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]] as well as appearing as an adult in 1974 in the 'toon [[Decemberween Short Shorts|Decemberween short shorts]]; in [[caffeine]], Strong Sad's slaps provoke him to cry out "I'm just an old man!"; in [[slumber party]], Strong Bad refers to him, [[Bubs]], and [[The King of Town]] as "older kids"; and while narrating an interaction between Coach Z and Bubs in [[narrator]], Strong Bad labels them both as "weird old men".

Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] shows us; Bubs makes a "Coach Z, you jerk!" float for the parade, and Coach Z retaliates by saying "Serves him right, then" when [[Strong Mad]] steals [[Bubs Concession Stand|his concession stand]]. In the email [[narrator]], it was shown that they had made-up and returned to having boring conversations about [[Bubs's Napkins|Bubs's napkins]]. However, in [[Most in the Graveyard|Most In The Graveyard]], when it is implied that Coach Z fancies Bubs' sister, Bubs beats him up. In the same toon, it is also revealed that Coach Z and Bubs may actually be very distant cousins, although Bubs finds this hard to believe.

</div>
As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been strongly implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In [[diorama]], Coach Z even refers to Marzipan as his "gorgeous girlfriend". Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[Disconnected Telephones|disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit of [[Butt-Patting|butt-patting]]. He also has a slight obsession with ointments and body creams, like using 'Blue Star Ointment' to scare people in [[Halloween Fairstival]]. Many characters see him as a nuisance. Even Homestar treated Coach Z with contempt in [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], quickly refusing to allow Coach Z to come to his house for [[Decemberween]].

<span id="accent"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Accent</span> ===

''See main article: [[Coach Z's Accent]]''

Coach Z has great difficulty pronouncing certain words, such as "job" (as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon); the most commonly mispronounced sounds are long e (e.g. The Cheat/"The Chort") and the short o (job/"jaerb"), which both come out as an "or" or "aer".

Occasionally, toons will imply that Coach Z is either deliberately playing up or entirely faking this manner of speech.

</div>

</div>
''From'' [[UMFM Interview - 20 May 2003|a 2003 interview with UMFM]]'':''

<blockquote>'''[[Matt Chapman|MATT CHAPMAN]]:''' [Coach Z's accent] came from a depressing Midwesterner voice that me and some friends would do in college.<br />
'''KEVIN SCOTT:''' With rapper lingo thrown in for good measure.<br />
'''MATT:''' We thought that was the funniest part: here's this guy that's just this very white bread, blue-collar sounding dude – but he's down with old school hip hop, and up on the latest in hip hop.</blockquote>
Coach Z's name is derived from a nickname given to [[Craig Zobel]] — though Zobel was not particularly into sports, [[Giant Magazine Interview|college friend Bill Kramer called him "Coach Z"]]. Around the same time, [[Mike Chapman]] was writing the book ''[[Where My Hat Is At?]]'' and needed a coach character. With Zobel's nickname in mind, the character was dubbed "Coach ''Zee''", though his name was simplified to "Z" after this initial appearance.

The character's distinctive voice is derived from many regional American accents — most prominently [[North-Central American English|Upper Midwestern]], [[Midland American English|Midland]], and [[Eastern New England English|Eastern New England]] — and further exaggerated for comedic effect. Inspiration comes from both [[Indiana]] relatives and a funny voice [[Matt Chapman]] would use.

<span id="appearance"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Appearance</span> ===

Coach Z wears a purple baseball cap with a blue bill. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|lacks a visible nose and mouth]], but is able to talk, eat, and spit with ease. He wears a large, gold "Z" medallion on his torso. His body is a bright green color, which is ambiguously either his skin or a body suit. His [[shapeshifter|sweatpants waistband]], [[Fish Eye Lens|"mittens"]], and [[Fan Costumes 2017|removing a skin-tight suit]] have been mentioned; alternatively, he has been shown to wear [[underlings|a bathing suit]] or [[Costume Commercial|a Halloween costume]] over the green. He has long arms and large feet, but very short legs.

<span id="character-video-transcript"></span>
== <span class="mw-headline"> Character Video Transcript </span> ==

''See main article: [[Coach Z's Character Video]]''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on? ''{turns to the camera lens}'' Hey there, ho there! I'm the Coach! The Coach Z, I'd guess you'd call me. Or plain old Coach is fine, seein' as I'm the only one around, so, probably no one else would answer to that. You say "Hey Coach!", and I'd say "Yeah?" or... "That's me!" or... "Hoo-hah!" ''{waves his arms in the air}'' Any one of those. There's rumors flyin' around that I sleep in one of these lockers, ''{gestures to the lockers behind him}'' but uh, that's just not true. I usually crash on this bench here. ''{gestures to the bench behind him}'' My back's not in real good condition. ''{rubs his back}'' And now, I'd like to perform my hip-hop single, "These peoples try to fade me". ''{holds up a microphone, begins to sing}'' A one-two, a one-two—!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{appears in front of camera}'' Sorry. We're all out of tape.

* According to the [[Old Characters Page]], Coach Z wasn't much of a coach at the time, and he just added the title because it sounded "cooler than just Z". He has been seen coaching on numerous occasions since then, though his talent at it is still dubious at best.
* According to [[trading cards]], Coach Z gave 23 [[Butt-Patting|butt pats]] in 1984 (22 to Homestar, 1 to himself).
* Strong Bad referred to Coach Z as "Green Bubs" in the email [[road trip]].
* In [[Date Nite]] he is shown without his hat and wearing hair curlers, despite a lack of visible hair.
* On Coach Z's emblem, the darker blue shine streak under the gold Z makes a rotated Z formation. In one earlier design, the shine's Z is also backwards.
* Though not very expressive usually, later toons gave Coach Z an "angry eyes" expression (seen in [[Kick-A-Ball]] and [[hremail 3184]]).

=== <span class="mw-headline"> [[Halloween Costumes]] </span> ===

In each Homestar Runner Halloween special, Coach Z has dressed up as something rap or [[Hip-Hop|hip-hop]]-related, or in the case of Theo Huxtable and Malcolm, something he ''believes'' to be hip-hop related. Strong Bad has questioned how much Coach Z actually knows about these artists.
