Showed this to my goldfish now he's a shark

9 years later, Coastal Carolina is 10-0. They're not cats anymore.

There's no way his dog would be named anything other than Bo.

This is possibly the greatest press conference of all time.

I’ve watched this randomly over the past 6 or 7 years and it kills me every time. Now... I’m more like a dog. Thanks country ass coach!

"Cat in the house?" "Yeah there's a CAT IN THE HOUSE"

"Lookin in the mirror, do I look good, got my extra bands on, got my other shoes up" LOL

I wonder if he ever got a new screen door.

this never get old

Had Him as my AD (Athletic Director) for my Junior Year of High School (Socastee High School). Great Man, very Funny, Loved him!!!! Hope I can see him again one day

0:15 I've never heard Kitchen said with such intensity.

"What are you doing here little kitty cant?!" brb, dying

I watch this every morning. Its great motivation. BE A DAWG!!

This is the most incoherent coherent message I have ever heard

Still the best fucking rant ever

STILL THE BEST PRESS CONFERENCE EVER 🤣🤣🤣

"We don't need no meoooooows, we don't need no cats." 😂

We scrimmaged a new high school back in 2013 and this guy was the coach and he gave me and my friend advice to stay away from drugs, alcohol, and that hoochie coochie and it took me about 10 minutes to realize it was this dude haha. Honestly he’s pretty unhinged but he was a nice guy who definitely cares about the game and I respect that. It’s easy to make fun of him in this interview but after meeting him in person I really wanted to be a dog in that scrimmage. And even though my football career is over with, i will never forget that scrimmage and his off the cuff advice

I would pay this man good money to produce for me a hi fidelity MP4 full of 3 hrs of nothing but wall to wall cat noises.

I still remember seeing this rant on SportsCenter one night. Just recently with CCU ranked and playing good football it reminded me of “that Coastal Carolina coach meowing like a cat” on SportsCenter about a decade ago I literally had no idea what his name was so I had to look up CCU’s past football coaches to learn it, but here he is once again Coach Bennett, thank you for one of the most entertaining press conference rants ever 👏

When you hear some guys talk you understand why they were coaches he was born to do this👏🏾

I come back at least once a year to watch this, such motivational words!!

he is the greatest man in life

Rumor has it Bo is still barking

For those who don't understand the analogy. He's saying players are too busy looking good, doing interviews, looking sharp and talking outside the game instead of playing and winning the game, just like a cat is too busy cleaning itself and being lazy all day. He's dead right tho when it comes to this. You hear a lot of players talking, not doing.

Legit one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet too.

Who’s here after seeing this was 11 years ago and can’t believe it.

need mo dawgs

With each and every passing day we lose dawgs. Don’t lose the dawg in you

""Door won't go that way"- Favorite part!

One of the best one minute videos in history.

Best thing on earth

This remains in the coach interview Hall of Fame

"Trying to get our two boys ready golf tournament wolf pats right."

There's something enjoyable about making cat sounds. I think the coach just figured that out

Greatest coach rant EVER!!!

11/24/19. Saw Coastal Carolina play at the University of Louisiana Monroe yesterday. I know Coach Bennett is no longer at the stump for the Chanticleers (too bad because CC lost to ULM, 45-42!), however I could not help put think of this AMAZING conference from years ago, as I watched his former football team take the field!! This is one of the GREATEST speeches by a coach of ANY sport, at ANY level, EVER!! Truly, and I mean this with great sincerity and respect, but Coastal should have a statue of Coach Bennett at the Stadium there, along with an engraving at its’ base of this entire fantastic speech!! Be a dog!!

try'n to get our two boys ready to care'm d'golf term full practs right

I played one year at Catawba when Coach Bennett was an assistant. Man, hearing him threw me back 20 years.

I still think about this to this day

Guy's like Foghorn Leghorn.

That guy literally used to be my high school's football coach. No joke

The word "Chanticleer" has been stuck in my head all day thanks to this speech.

Plot twist: The cat was gay.

Fucking classic. I love it. Never gets old.

He should make a book, sort of, "What Animal Player Am I?!", featuring lots of animals like cats, rhinos, raccoons, foxes, chamaleons, snake, bull-frogs, etc... It would be the ultimate coach guide :3...

Upon entering the study I immediately caught hint of an inebriating odor. It was as if the air had left this part of reality and been replaced with a venomous vapor. Then it all came together in an exceptional brilliance before my eyes. There had been no tea party that afternoon, there was no crime committed, and it was I who was the victim of inexplicable circumstances. I had broken the promise made to my father. I had forgotten to go shut Bo up. I had to go shut Bo up.

I was confident as a BYU fan to play them but after this press conference I'm worried that's 1st class coaching right there

Shout out to Shane gillis lol the Dawgs are here coach

THE BEST VIDEO EVER

Saw this video ten times today. Never gets old....figured out the 12 cats equals his football team.

Legend has it the cat is still trying to get out of his house.

2019 in the house

Well the baseball team was a bunch of dawwgs, they ain't no kitty cats. Congrats on the 2016 CWS

I'm gonna tell my kids this was Jose Mourinho

They got dawgs in 2020

Mel's like what's going on? I said there's a cat in the house Cat in the house? I said yeah there a cat in the house!

Flash to 2020: Coastal Carolina is 11-0 but Bennet is not the head coach

would've loved to hear his actual speech to his players. whata legend

This shit is still hilarious after all these years. I’ll be back in a few years to laugh again.

Shange Gillis brought me here 😂

He is one of my favorite coaches of all-time. He is a great coach, and a great person . Let me see if I can help you all understand what he is saying. He is trying to motivate his players to play tough. A lot of players nowadays are worried about the way they look. If he gave this speech to his team, clearly he was addressing an issue with the team. Everybody running around trying to look pretty or cute instead of playing smash mouth football. You can also look into the difference between hurt vs injured. If I am hurt I can still play but if I am injured then I cannot. I wonder how many players on the team were hurt vs injured. How many players were willing to put the team needs above self interest. They used to say, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." If you are a former student of the game (player) we all should know that this is talking about.

This was his Howard Dean moment. Derailed his career with cat noises.

Maybe the greatest post game presser ever next to Gundy's "I'm am man dammit!"

Why are there 12 cats living across the road? Where does this guy live?

I love this guy, I'm a dog coach. I'll come play for you.

A.FUCKING.CLASSIC..we need more dogs!

The messages Cat's freak out even when you try to help them.... Dawgs only freak out when somthings wrong in the house

cocaine's a helluva dawg

Now that nil exists, all there is is cats. Sad.

The funniest part to me is that there is a HUGE BIRD in the background:) LOL

I use this analogy almost daily. Thank you Dave.

I’m still laughing in tears with this rant 😂

I have no idea what the fuck he was talking about.

The United States🇺🇸could use this pep talk right about now.

i literally cannot stop watching this

hahahahahaha man this is dumb funny "don't need no cats meows"

mew. don't go blaming cats for asinine dogs. Just sayin.

I love this guy.

This never gets old!

Most scripted press conference ever.

Not so funny meow is it

Awesome! I heard the last part on WWL sports talk intro. I had to find out where it came from

Came back to this now as the chants are ranked 15th in the nation wow how things have gone

0:25 IMO

I will forever watch this as my motivation.

This is my favorite press conference yet

I saw this year's ago but still love it! The coach has a great point...less divas n more warriors!

This is freaking awesome. I keep coming back to this. DAWGS!

thankyou tosh.0 for bringing this to my attention

Now they’re ranked 17 in the country

How could anyone ever dislike this video?

I hope to get a bag from my dealer as good as his one day 🤞

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Truly enjoyed watching the video.

this video won the internet beginning in Sept. 2011... thanks, David for the humor... I still laugh over and over again!!... =)

Right up there with "win one for the Gipper." Brings a tear to my eye.

My science teacher shows us this almost every day! It never gets old!!!! :)

We need more dogs.

Everytime I feel down I look at this and it just cracks me up...Lol. Thanks Coach. He's really saying stop worrying about how good you look in ur uniform and just play some damn ball.
