Thank you! Rob is tightly written, which is surprising because of how infrequent his appearances are. This highlights just how impactful each episode starring Rob is, with how much it pushes his character even when it is not really required of the show. The staff behind this show constantly go above and beyond paygrade, and characters such as Rob are embodiments of that effort.

I don't find Coach Russo as horrendously written as Harold or Rachel per se, but rather, comedy works best in sets of three, and Coach Russo fitted the joke best given she is bland and somewhat one-note. There is nothing wrong with having one-note static characters provided they have enough of a hook to justify their presence (characters such as Juke and Hot Dog Guy come to mind). Coach Russo's whole 'out-of-shape gym coach' shtick, while not horrendous, is trite and stale. Because of this, I find her relatively unmemorable, and in the case of "The Coach," while still a good episode, she was constantly the least exciting portion (save the ending), which is ironic given the episode is titled after her.
