he doesn't get the value proposition and isn't interested in learning a lot.

The problem is that he hasn't realized up to now that the lens is slower when it is long. So he has been standing as far back as possible which means that he has been using the lens longer than he might otherwise.
Whatever he "needs" it isn't going to be solved by more gear.
Also it sounds like he's using the wrong system - he should have something like a bridge camera for his purposes.
Set it to full auto and fire away.
