"Verbally & mentally abused players, many players on the team reported him, internal investigation should’ve been done sooner. He was very manipulative. Half of the team quit and most of the internationals went home. He is controlling. He is often in a bad mood and then switches and acts good to try get people back on his side, seems bipolar. He regularly made Girls cry at practice. All we did was run, some days there was no balls at practice so he didn’t have to coach the team he just watched us do the same running exercises. He was very rude at times. Our assistant coach was too scared to stand up to him so just witnessed it and did nothing about it. He was embarrassing to have on the side. He kicked chairs, the fence and ball bags if we conceded . Would scream and shout on the sidelines which the live stream would pick up and be clear enough for parents to hear. He ruined players enjoyment for soccer. He Only cared about results for his own benefit. We have freedom from him now as he moved to Western Illinois - do not go there for as long as he is there!!"

Intense Poor Communication

"Plays favorites, especially international players. Can be verbally abusive to players. Was under university investigation for verbally abusing players. Doesn't recruit outside of viewing highlight films. Left Clayton State for a D1 opportunity. Good for us, bad for them"

"People think D2 sports are a joke, but they're not. I worked harder playing soccer under coach Peterson than I have for anything in my life and had an amazing time. D2 athletics are no joke. You should consider yourself lucky if you get to play a college sport."
