“Be nicer to Coach or he's gonna take off and live with another bunch of white people”
In Happy Endings, the show he left New Girl for after the pilot, he lives with another group of white friends.
He had to leave New Girl because he already signed a contract for Happy Endings and when the pilot got them 2 seasons, he had to go.
It makes sense that Coach came back because he liked the show from the beginning.
It's a throw away joke but I thought it was funny how self aware the joke was.
