"Suppresses creative play, takes great young minds and turns them into drones that only know how to play out of one or two patterns. Relies heavily on height and crosses from his wingers. Plays players out of position. Serial almost winner"

"Great person and coach. Wants the best for players, and goes beyond the field. "

"Coached the team to 2011 NAIA national semi finals - made history. "

"Coach Byers is a good cross country coach with over twenty years of coaching experience. I came to him as a transfer student, and he embraced me and helped me adjust to the team. Coach Byers is a fun coach who knows when to be serious and when to lighten up. He responds to the needs of the team and I never doubted that he cared for me as an athlete, a student, and as a person. My XC times from my previous college should have made me one of the top 3 runners on the team when I transferred. However, my performances never lived up to those times, and I struggled to crack the top 7 on the team many times. Despite my disappointing performances, Coach Byers was patient with me, always reminding me that he believed in me and never making me feel like I couldn't yet improve. Byers' belief in me paid off in my second and final XC season with the school, where I was our #4 runner, helping the team to our first conference championship in about 5 years. "
