Easily the least intelligent and most short-tempered of his brothers, Coover is seen as a disappointment in the family. He strives to obtain his mother's affection and approval and constantly fails, usually by collaborating with his brother, Dickie, on harebrained schemes that do more harm than good. Like his brothers, he is unintimidated by Raylan Givens, even getting into a brawl with him during "The Spoil".

Coover Bennett is a strong bodied criminal who is often impulsive and unpredictable. Due to his bigger size, he is great in brawl fights. He is prone to bursts of anger, and has a tendency to lash out at those around him when he feels threatened or cornered. Once he gets angry, he sees white and often acts violent and aggressively. Often harming the person that has angered him to the brink of death. He's not afraid to get his hands dirty, and has no qualms about using violence to achieve his goals. Despite his tough exterior, he's also deeply insecure, and has a tendency to overcompensate by putting on a front of bravado and machismo. He's also prone to lying, and often struggles to own up to his mistakes. He desperately seeks his mother’s approval. He is an idiot and consumes a lot of variety of drugs. His only skills seem to be brawls and growing marijuana.

He is an egotistical and arrogant young man who is not afraid to take risks, but who also has a fragile ego and is prone to anger and violence. He is not ambitious and determined to achieve his goals, due to his constant drug usage and his hobby of being a couch potato and listening to death metal. His lack of experience and his lack of judgment often lead him to make mistakes and get into dangerous situations. Despite his flaws, Coover is a big softie at heart, his insecurities and aggression just get in the way of that.

Background: (Coover is the least intelligent of the Bennett family, a family of marijuana growers active in Harlan. He and his brother Doyle are in charge of the family's distribution. In the first episode they cause trouble for the family by hiring sex offender James Earl Dean, leading to police scrutiny of the Bennett business. This leads to the two being berated by matriarch Mags for their stupidity.

After a man named Walt McCready is murdered by Mags, Coover and his brother Dickie are entrusted with disposing of the corpse. Coover takes the opportunity to steal Walt's watch from the body. He and his brothers also make several more stupid mistakes, such as getting a Dixie Mafia drug shipment hijacked by Elrod Platt and Cutter and cashing in on Walt's cheques using a different signature each time. Both of these lead to police investigations that jeopardise the Bennett's business.

Coover and the rest of the Bennetts are opposed to a new mining contract with company boss Carol Johnson. When US marshal Raylan Givens is assigned to protect Carol, Coover confronts him and gives him a shove, leading to a fight which ends in Coover beating Raylan to a pulp and having to be restrained by Mags. After Boyd Crowder gives a speech in support of the mining company Coover and Dickie go round to his house to get him. Coover savagely beats Boyd when he returns home but is interrupted by Boyd's lover Ava pulling a shotgun on him. She lets the brothers go, but not before shooting Coover's pet mouse Charlie. Coover develops jealousy towards his adoptive sister Loretta (Walt McCready's daughter) when he overhears Mags talking to her about how stupid he is.)
