"It is rare to see a group of talented young men lose their passion for baseball so quickly, but that is exactly what is happening under Coach [Mick]. The environment is toxic; there is no actual coaching occurring, only yelling and derogatory remarks. The lack of accountability for the coach’s son, contrasted with the harsh treatment of the rest of the roster, has fractured the locker room. When the assistant coaching staff is trying to leave as fast as the players, it tells you everything you need to know about the state of the program. It’s a shame to see a college program run this way."

"When coach Janosko says (and he says it often)...if you hate me when you graduate, then I've done my job...maybe you should ask yourself if this is the place for me? After games you either get screamed at or ignored! No idea on game strategy as he sits at the end of the dugout and doesn't speak to anyone (only occasionally yelling if someone makes a mental or physical error). 2026 certainly has been a challenging season, but why would coach Janosko give you off 5 days before rolling out the balls for the final DH? Did he decide to mail it in? You would think our spring break trip would be an unforgettable experience with some team bonding, competitive games and the coaching staff getting us prepared for when we get back? Well coach Janosko was only interested in the parents who were sitting a bit to close to the dugout for his liking. Even threatening the team if he were to find out whose parents they were, they wouldn't play. And finally coach Janosko is so proud that he built the SVC baseball program...remind us all what he built? SVC baseball is an experience!"

"Please sign me up for a coach who only sees the bad, is not willing (or able) to improve the player/team and plays favorites. M**k picks the lineup out of a hat from game to game with a few exceptions. So get 3 hits and your not one of his favorites, you may not play again for a week. No idea how in 2026 a coach with a defeatist attitude (but not 100% sure on this because he has not a lick of personality), who has been on the losing end just about every season over his career and continues to punch the clock like its a 9 to 3 job is still employed? Roll the balls out M**k and continue to sit in the corner of the dugout and then blame everyone but yourself when you lose. Maybe actually have a practice or 2 with you engaged might help? Oh wait, M**k can continue to churn through 20 new freshman (and transfers who get a crack at playing just because they transferred to SVC) every single year because this strategy may ultimately work? A great question for the AD would be to ask old M**k what his coaching style and team culture is? Enter SVC a young man and leave hating the game because of M**k!"

"Kinda hard to rate on the caring, motivational, and knowledgeable aspect when M**k has little (at most) to say as he is a man of few words and his communication skills are non-existent. During practice (rarely, if not canceled and hardly ever on the field...not sure what else he is doing with his time other than collecting a paycheck) and games he sits by himself offering no or limited feedback to players. So defensive reps, offensive swings and a pitchers throwing/conditioning program with an actual coach eyeballing/providing constructive feedback don't seem to be in M**k's wheelhouse? Whatever happened to coaching players up to make them better players (and teaching life lessons through baseball)? Memorable story...nada, I guess you live and you learn and put Saint Vincent College (which I loved as an institution) baseball in the rearview and not look back! And playing favorites or 'parental' favoritism has no impact on his decision making process? Let me guess, he steps away in 2 years...wink, wink!? Since 1998 (M**k's 1st season) he's had 6 seasons where Saint Vincent baseball has finished above .500...we should all be so lucky to have career longevity while being a failure in our career path. Thankfully I'm sure he'll support me after graduation? NOT...because it just might interfere with a Penguins, Pirates or Steelers game!"

"He is a very bad coach. Treats players poorly. Team culture is awful. Screamed at us for 45 minutes after a game. Likes to throw temper tantrums."

"Control freak, runs his program like a dictator, do not make the mistake of committing to svc as you’ll likely end up quitting and rotting away at that joke of an institution."

"Coach Janosko is a coach who lies to his players and finds only the bad in the players he doesn't like. When playing for Coach Janosko I witnessed not only myself but other players get cut from a dress list for no apparent reason. He preaches one philosophy then gets mad halfway through the season when it isn't working. When Playing for M**k you will feel like part of the crowd, there is no feedback on good or bad plays, and the fear of getting pulled from the dress list is constant as M**k time and time again shows no trust in the players he recruits. He would rather turn to D2 and NAIA transfers who lack discipline and work ethic due to Janosko handing them the starting jobs. M**k Janosko has killed not only mine but many other players love for the game due to his poor coaching and even worse personality. "

"I've played for many bad coaches but none of them were near as bad as Janosko. I was lied too the first day I ever stepped foot on campus. We were told that there would be a brand new turf field and he even showed recruits pictures of what it would look like. But the field is never going to come. Players get yelled at when they ask him questions. What kind of coach does that?? It's part of his job, even though he's clearly only in it for the money as he continues to recruit 25-30 new kids every year and then gets rid of most of them after their first year, just to bring 25-30 many more on the following year. It's a never ending cycle.  Practices are extremely unorganized with only two coaches looking over 70 kids. He is also a confidence killer. If you make one tiny mistake, even in a practice,  you will get screamed at. During games, it's as if there's no coach there. He just sits at the end of the dugout and rarely says anything to anyone, only yelling at players if something goes wrong. He never seems to give positive feedback to players, its always negative and then he complains when everyone plays uptight. He also plays favorites, which is clearly representative of the terrible record from this past season. With the amount of kids on the team, the record should have been a lot better than it was. Coach Janosko has ruined my love for the game and I deeply regret my decision to play for him. If you are getting recruited to play at Saint Vincent, definitely look elsewhere."

"Don’t make the mistake of committing to SVC for baseball. Janosko is a con artist who is extremely dishonest during recruiting and doesn’t follow through on his word. Save yourself the time/money/eligibility and evaluate other options. "

"Horrible Coach, Players hate him and have no respect for him. Plays favorites. Game coaching is poor. Only wins a little based on talent. Personality of a fly.Destroys players confidence."

"Screams at players. Doesn’t communicate. Only plays favorites "
