David Bennett (born December 2, 1961) is an American former high school athletics administrator and football coach.
In the second, third, and fourth seasons of his tenure, he led the Chanticleers to nine or more wins each year, only qualifying for the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs once in 2006 with an at-large berth, as the five-team Big South Conference had too few schools for an automatic bid.
Under his tenure, the Chanticleers reached the FCS playoffs twice, and finished in at least a tie for the Big South regular season title four times.
During his time at Coastal Carolina, Bennett gained notoriety for a portion of a press conference he gave on September 7, 2011 that went viral.
The video has resurfaced several times in subsequent years, often on the anniversary of the original press conference, and resulted in several interviews and speaking opportunities for Bennett.
