Wayans was a master shape phallus inHappy Endings , which was not expected to be renewed for an additional season . He auditioned for and was cast in theNew Girlpilot as Coach , one of the roommates , but upon filming the pilot , Happy Endingswas really renewed for a net season . At the time , no one knew it would be the last season , and he was under contract forHappy Endings . He had to leaveNew Girlbehind .
The producers of the show , however , did n’t merely want to recast the role in case he was able to return to the serial in the futurity . They also wanted to use the cowcatcher they had already filmed , so the character go out of the loft between the two episodes and a new roommate moved in .
That rick out to be a smart decision . Lamorne Morris was throw off as Winstonbeginning with the 2nd instalment . He became the quaternary roommate , but he did not substitute Wayans in the role of Coach . Winston went on to become a fan - favorite character and Wayans was capable to return to the series as Coach full time in season 3.Wayans would leave the show again for season 4 , but he was capable to return for guest star spots periodically until the show end with season 7 .
