The coach can be anyone, though usually it's best to have someone who knows the rules very well and has an almost telepathic link to the drive team.

The biggest thing to note about the coach is that they can't touch the controls. However, I don't believe there's any rules that say a coach can't hit his driver when the driver doesn't listen, or anything like that :-p.

Seriously though, make sure whoever is the coach can work well with the drive team and can comminucate well. It may be best to have another driver as coach, because I've noticed coaches who have driven a robot tend to know a bit more about the limitations placed on the driver.
