CakePHP: Auth error showing even on allowed actions

This one's making me scratch my head. I'm doing a basic authentication 
where I check a user's role, and allow or deny based on that role. I want 
to keep it simple and semantic (no ACL). But the Auth error message shows, 
even when the user attempts an allowed action... and remains visible after 
they've logged out.

Here's my app controller:

    public $components = array(
        'Session',
        'Password',
        'Auth' => array(
            'loginRedirect' => array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 
'index'),
            'logoutRedirect' => array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 
'display', 'home'),
            'authError' => "Sorry, you're not allowed to do that.",
            'authorize' => array('Controller')
        ),
        'RequestHandler'
    );

    public function beforeFilter() {
    $this->set('loggedIn', $this->Auth->loggedIn());
    $this->set('current_user', $this->Auth->user());
    $this->set('admin', $this->_isAdmin());
    $this->set('coach', $this->_isCoach());
    $this->Auth->allow('login', 'logout', 'display');
    }
    
    public function isAuthorized($user) {
    if (isset($user['role']) && $user['role'] === 'admin') {
    return true;
    }
    return false;
    }

And here's the beforeFilter and isAuthorized from another controller:

    public function beforeFilter() {
    parent::beforeFilter();
    }
    
    public function isAuthorized($user) {
    if ($user['role'] === 'coach') {
        if ($this->action === 'index') {
    return true;
    }
        if (in_array($this->action, array('view', 'edit', 'delete'))) {
    $id = $this->request->params['pass'][0];
    $this->User->id = $id;
            if ($this->User->field('client_id') === $user['client_id'] ) 
                return true;
    } else {
    return false;
    }
        }
    return false;
    }
    return
