Like Long, Cain (or 'Coach' to all y'all) is also faculty. He teaches PE, and helps the Actual!fax football coach out when he for some reason can't get to practice.
Actual!fax coach is a bit of a slacker, really, but the boys on the team don't seem to mind when Cain kicks the proverbial shit out of them on the field. Anything to win, right? No pain no gain, and so on and so forth.
Cain runs a pretty ruthless football practice, mostly because he knows the guys need to be able to take it if they ever want to win - or if they ever want to get a scholarship when their more intellectually-based grades fail.
As PE teacher, he's far less brutal, though his reputation as a no-joke drill sergeant may not help his attempts at earning the kids' trust. He generally takes pity on those kids with legitimate reasons to get out of gym class - and make no mistake, he can spot a faked note a mile away. He's looking at you, Holmes.
He's a generally calm, centred sort of guy with a dry wit and even drier banter. Widower, no kids, took up smoking (again) after Dora died.
No one had better talk about his family, or he might not be such a nice guy any more. That's off-limits.
...that said, almost nothing else is off-limits, even if he doesn't actually enjoy trying to explain why girls or boys behave in certain ways. Oh, teenage problems. That's what you get for being a good listener, or something.
And sometimes, just sometimes, he teaches home ec. Have fun with that. <3~
