"Terrible culture. Talks about current and former players behind their backs, making it awkward for the teammates who have to listen it. Tries to talk about winning and being a leader but it’s clear he doesn’t lead anything, especially with pitchers, and it’s lost multiple games. He lacks any ability to manage in game and insults the pitchers with the choices he lets the pitching coach make. He can’t lead the other coaches, let alone the team. When he talks to players, no one understands what he’s saying because he will talk for 20 minutes and say nothing. When he does a one on one talk with anybody, it feels like a cross between someone trying to be your friend and sell you a used car at the same time. Feels manipulative.
He goes out and parties on away games. Players walk by the hotel bar at night and he’s sitting there drinking when there’s a game the next day. Bus left 20 minutes late the next morning because it was waiting for him. Some guys think it’s cool, and it’s the same ones that also go out and party on away games and the coaches don’t care. Treats the freshmen like crap, has them doing stuff no one else has to do and demeans them, then encourages upperclassmen to do it too. Violates NCAA rules all the time. It’s like he’s still trying to be one of the guys instead of being the coach and it’s weird.
Players have come here and gotten worse with him as a leader, and become angry/confused because no one understands what his expectations are other than “don’t suck”. He talks about accountability but can’t even hold himself to a standard. He’s always talking about what he did as a major league pitcher but I haven’t seen him do anything as a coach… He might have been a good major league pitcher, but he’s an awful coach. I don’t plan to tell anyone to come here if he’s still head coach"
"Camp is very unorganized, selfish, always puts himself above the team. He talks down on current players behind their back to other players. This creates a very bad team culture. I didn’t learn anything new as his player."
