Physical appearance[]
Kleehammer is a tall middle-aged man with a large abdomen. In the early seasons of King of the Hill, he has light brown hair and wears a red cap and a grayish brown long-sleeved shirt. In later seasons, he has gray hair and wears a light blue long-sleeved shirt and a navy blue cap. He always wears athletic shorts above the knee.
Background[]
Little is known about Coach Kleehammer (including his first name). He was previously a teacher, and does not want to return to his old job. He first appears in the Season 2 episode "Bobby Slam" as the boy's wrestling coach. He appears to be extremely sexist, making numerous jokes about female sports and derogatory statements towards women in general.
He is also shown to be the Powder Puff Cheerleaders coach in the Season 12 episode "The Powder Puff Boys" and the gym instructor in the Season 13 episode "No Bobby Left Behind." He also becomes the temporary Principal at Tom Landry Middle School when Carl Moss is temporarily fired in the same episode. Unlike Moss, who is severely bureaucratic, Kleehammer retains his authoritarian methods as principal.
