"I ran on some of this coach's earlier teams. Maybe he has improved, but I had a challenging experience with him. He lost all of our trust in him as he would constantly complain about each of us members on the team to the other members of the team in private meetings. Of course, he would not say any of this to our faces, but it just created a toxic relationship between much of our team and him. I also heard that he said nasty things to the team about me after I graduated which was upsetting because I put a lot into the program for him and was respected by my other coaches and teammates. Our team rallied around each other and did well but I certainly wish we had had a different coach."

"This coach struggles with a high degree of the basic necessities of scholastic coaching such as caring about and putting the athletes first, communication, fostering a structured and competitive team environment, and being an educator. Not to mention he also lacks the knowledge of the sport to generate the best competitive results out of his athletes and is to vain to admit that and attempt to learn from other, more successful coaches in the sport. The results at Lafayette were misleading as they were achieved after the pandemic in which the athletes were largely away training on their own and their success had nothing to do with this coach and was about the ambition, dedication, intentionality, and locker room vibe facilitated by the athletes themselves. Worst of all, this coach makes everything about himself and suffers from "blame the kid syndrome" when things go poorly on race-day. A coach in a collegiate program owes it to their athletes, institution, and community to be a servant leader, educator, and instill skills in their athletes that can foster success both competitively and after graduation in the professional world. This coach comes up markedly short in those areas."
