As much as I love that Casey girl I realize on marry me she is a better supporting actress than lead. And the supporting actors on that show are better grocery store clerks than actors.

I haven't seen Wayans in anything else so I can't speak to him outside of New Girl. Same with Morris. But based on what they have done with their respective characters I think Morris has way more talent. It amazes me that he can pull off such an interesting albeit under-utilized character as Winston. He sells the shit out of Winston's insanity.
Coach is not particularly interesting as written and while Morris fills in Winston's gaps Wayans doesn't do much to infuse Coach with anything distinctive or interesting. He's like male CeeCee. He's had some funny moments but there's no way in hell if the roles were reversed he could pull off a Winston whereas Morris, despite not looking like much of a coach, could do more than Wayans with the little he's given.

That was definitely refreshing and I was hopeful when Coach came back for that very reason. Unfortunately the character's addition didn't really help the dynamic and if anyone was going to get short-changed in stories and characters it'd be one or both of the black characters.
I'd rather they give one black character a role as meaty as the rest of the main cast than two black characters fighting for scraps

12. "If anything it made both 'characters'" In response to Reply # 11
rather than 'black characters'
with just one its almost always just having a black face represented
with both, it felt like they were free to just be characters. it felt like what the world looks like rather than what a tv show looks like. if that makes sense.
its rare that you see a set of diverse white people paired with a set of diverse black people. even if one is kinda meh, i'd still take it.
the problem was they were both characters who ended up getting the short shrift (Not that Winston without Coach has ever really been given as much to do as Schmidt or Nick). I'd rather have really solid characters than a representation of the world when it comes to my entertainment although it is a shitty choice I resent having to make. That said I think New Girl does just fine on that front in terms of its guest stars, love interests, and background actors.
Taking race out of the equation I just think Coach didn't add much to the show and while his character wasn't terrible he was the weak link (both as written and performed) that made the whole chain weaker.

14. "surprised by the reactions here." In response to Reply # 0
Coach just added more funny to the show and the show already had a lot of funny. His chemistry with the cast was so apparent they basically made a (lame) movie (Let's Be Cops) out of it.
I for one will miss him and his awkward "player that forgot how to play" moments with women.
