"He should just retire or be canned. He needs to be replaced with someone who cares about the job."

"Coach Ripa is a joke. He is lazy and does the minimum."

"Cares more about his title than doing his job. Really doesn’t seem interested in fencing or coaching. Is very interested in talking about himself and taking pictures of himself. Kind of a waste. And he doesn’t care if our team is good or not. Recruits from his own club with fencers who are mediocre. And double-dips by having Brown pay to use his club for practice. No work ethic, no ethics in general. Zero people skills. "

"Coach Ripa really doesn’t care much about fencing. He’s more interested in himself than anything else. This guy is a major egomaniac, and really doesn’t want to work hard. A huge disappointment. "
