Does coach need to be capitalized at the end of this sentence

Question

Big and tall, Coach Mount is fair and is a very good cross country Coach.

Answer 1

No, it does not need to be capitalized. The only time you would capitalize it is if it's use as a proper noun.

For example, "I was late, so Coach made me run laps."

Answer 2

In the second case it is not used as a proper noun, so no, it does not need to be capitalized.

Answer 3

The same pattern applies to other titles: When you use them with the person’s name, they become part of the proper noun and need capitals. When you use them in a general way, to talk about coaches (or even presidents) as a group, they are common nouns, like “athlete.”

Answer 4

Banking on what my comrades have stated here...no, coach does not need to be capitalized at the end of the sentence. Unless you are once again stating Coach ________, then coach is not a proper noun; therefore, coach does not need to be capitalized.
