Biography[]
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".
Later, when Loretta is unofficially adopted by Mags, Coover becomes jealous from the attention showered upon Loretta from his mother.
He tries to kill Loretta after she reveals her knowledge of Coover's involvement in murdering Loretta's father. Raylan Givens saves Loretta from Coover, shooting him causing him to fall into a mineshaft.
Coover died from the fall.
