Coach Clayton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Floyd Clayton is a fictional character, an African American coach of the Archie Comics universe. He is Chuck Clayton's father. He first appeared in Archie at Riverdale High #14.

Coach Clayton is a physical education teacher at Riverdale High School who believes in practicing and experimenting with various methods for teaching students. He is also very open and warm, which has led many in the student body to seek out his advice as well as tell him about their problems. Unlike his fellow phys-ed teacher Coach Kleats, he is in excellent physical condition -- although both men are very good athletes. He coaches the school's basketball and wrestling teams.

Coach Clayton's first name is either Floyd or Harry, as he's been called Floyd many times by faculty in regular digest stories. However, in the Faculty Funnies mini-series, where Mr. Weatherbee, Mr. Flutesnoot, Miss Grundy and Coach Clayton were secretly superheroes who all possessed super powers, Clayton was referred to as Harry.
