He's a lot more personable in interviews than he is at post-game hand-shakes
& I say that as a Bennett fan. (The same can certainly be said of Pope, too. Both hate losing & don't do much to conceal it in the moment.)
He's a good dude & one of the best HCs in the business.

Uh, you should take the hate as a compliment. It is a sign of respect.

He hasn't been given a DUI lately, so at least he has that going for him.

I think most of dislike of Bennett here is his in-game coach personna. Does not

Who are you fooling? He's probably top 2 on CB's most punchable faces across any sport.

He's a great coach and tactician. He's grumpy, ornery and irritable as a coach.

Legendary coach. Pioneered the speed postgame handshake

Much more likable than Mark Few, who is an attempted murderer and a cheater

I've heard him on a few podcasts. Much more likeable than I was expecting.

Handshakes are such a silly thing to base it off of, Pope acts the same way

I don't recall the context there, but looks like the USU coach was the one out of line.

If you think storming off in the middle of the line with several other coaches

Yes I know the RB antics well. I just didn't see how that clip points to him instigating that weird exchange.

To get the full cougarboard effect, you need to check the site during a game.

A lot of the smc jokes are they seldom leave there own county during preseason.

I can believe this for sure. CB is prone to hyperbole and unsubstantiated rumors

I’ve always seen claims of this on CB about CB but those claims appear to be greatly exaggerated and unsupported.

Modernday Bobby Knight - great coach, but acts like a jerk, poor loser, whiner.
BYUfan92

Not even comparable IMO
UMWolverine
8/11/22 5:48pm
You thought Knight was likeable? Or Bennett is?

Likable is irrelevant since I don’t know either man personally. Just thought

Bennett is a first class coach & has exceptional loyalty from his players. Those here who don't like him don't know him.

Nobody on here knows him.
OldFogey

Comes off as a poor loser and a top level whiner.

I don’t get the issue. He is a poor sport
