In "100%", Coach Trey mentioned that Coach Montes could not be on the field due to pneumonia and had to stay in the box during an important game, but would still come down to kick all of their asses if they didn’t score soon.
In "Mass Appeal", Asher finds out that Coach Montes is leaving Coastal for the NFL. There had been rumors, but now it's official. His wife mentions that he hasn't taken this move lightly and lost sleep worrying about the staff that he's leaving behind. However, he doesn’t worry about Asher; he believes Asher will one day have more championship rings than fingers. Coach Montes calls Asher, giving him a chance to say goodbye.
In "Victory Lap", Spencer receives a phone call from Coach Montes, who is now the head coach of the New York Bobcats in the NFL, informing Spencer that he has officially been drafted. Ten months later, Spencer and Coach Montes lead the team to their first Super Bowl title, defeating Texas 20-17.
Trivia[]
- He is nicknamed "Coach Mr. Montes" by JJ to distinguish from his wife Elena Montes, who was the boys’ head coach at Beverly High School.
- "100%" and "Mass Appeal" were two episodes that gradually wrote Coach Montes out of the story, but Kamar de los Reyes, the actor who portrayed him, tragically passed away from cancer in December 2023.
- With him leading the team to a Super Bowl victory following yet another sideline ban, it completed the tribute and write-out of the character. The storyline is similar to that of Chuck Pagano, who took leave of absence in 2012 from Indianapolis Colts as he battled leukemia. As of 2024: Pagano has been retired from coaching since 2021 and is still alive.
