"If you’re not all about performance on the field and you care so much about who people are off the field…. why didn’t you let SENIORS keep their scholarships and be part of your team. You took scholarships away from high school seniors who had been committed to FSU for over a year. You essentially had no care in the world turning these kids lives upside down. You took college dreams away from some when they worked hard and earned a scholarship you should have honored. YOU ARE A FRAUD. It’s sad people buy your fake car salesman act. Let’s see who your team taunts this year. Where do they get that? Straight from you. You have zero integrity and everything you do is with manipulative intent. Who are you on and off the field? A fraud. "

"Wouldn’t talk or look at us if you weren’t a starter. Didn’t travel players he didn’t like. Had members of our team isolate those that didn’t completely conform to him. Lies to players and recruits about scholarships and makes them make rash decisions in fear of their money being taken away. Doesn’t believe in mental health and has a huge ego. No one should coach the game the way he does. We aren’t in the military, we chose to go to college and play a game. Turns players into bullies and encourages unsportsmanlike behavior on the field. He belittles umpires and other coaches every chance he can get. After therapy - had to go because he gave me a mental breakdown and extreme anxiety - a lot of his behavior must stem for poor self esteem and low confidence. That’s why he feels the need to treat people the way he does. "

"I would say it’s a huge red flag to have coached at literally so so so many schools. There’s a problem when you are constantly jumping around. This coach ruined the love of the game for me and many of my teammates. He wouldn’t even acknowledge me before games. Really mature. "

"Watch how this man coaches and treats umpires. I watched him belittle a female umpire at a game for about 15 minutes. Terrible sportsmanship and a terrible role model. Talks a lot about coaching in the SEC and BIG 10 but his teams have produced terrible offenses and a weak defense. His wife is the only shining star in the coaching staff. Every article you read on the Ferris website mentions this dude like he is the savior. Literally every single one has to have his name in it for all that HE did. How big of an ego can you possibly have. Give the credit to who is actually doing it. THE PLAYERS!!!!!!"

"No one should teach the game like you do. Look at the number of players that have quit or tried to transfer from this program since he has been here. Not normal. I will never forget him not even acknowledging me o because I wasn’t one of his favorites. Is it normal for your coach to not talk to you at all like you do not matter?"

"As a parent I’m deeply troubled of the behavior you allow your players to display on the field. If you want to be a part of team that consistently displays unsportsmanlike behavior, go to Ferris. You also flat out lie to your recruits about their experience and what you will do tor them. Your pitchers should never hit. They were terrible hitters last year hitting in the .100’s. How and why did you continue to let them get chances at the plate when you had much better players on the bench not receive the same opportunities. I’m assuming something was promised to them, atleast I know for a fact it was promised to one. This type of favoritism doesn’t belong in college athletics. Shame on you. "

"Abusive coach. Just like he was at Ole Miss. That coach was investigated and fired. Title 9 complaints get your coach fired. All you have to do is complain and they might investigate. Just like they did to the coach he worked for. Wish I would have knew this when he pushed me and my teammates out. "

"He is mentally and emotionally abusive and a narcissist. He will push you out if you don’t perform or conform to him. He is controlling and tries to control your lifestyle and who you even date. Multiple players have entered the transfer portal in only 3 years and he’s even pushed a lot of players out of the program. Worst experience I’ve ever had playing. He not only ruined the love of the game for me but is the reason I stopped playing. "
