"What makes him stand out is that his directness is always paired with support. He doesn’t just give you feedback and move on. He takes the time to help you work through the issue until you’ve got it right. His commitment to my improvement is one of the reasons I’ve seen so much growth as a player."

"He is lit! I have a lot of appreciation for Danny, both as a person and as a coach. It's unfortunate that the situation around the team and the school had its challenges. It’s clear Danny’s genuine care for the team made a significant difference. Leaving behind a toxic culture can be a tough decision, especially when personal values and professionalism aren’t being respected."

"Idk about y'all but he was there for me when I needed someone to listen too."

"I hated college football, but I like my head coach (He was my head football coach at Malone University in Canton, Oh). I was in it for the wrong reasons. I didn’t have a scholarship and I thought my family back home would be disappointed if I quit football so I finished my redshirt season. Coach Hehman cared more about my general health than he did about me as a football player, and he told me that i was more than a football player and said that if I didn’t want to play a following season, I could do plenty of other things that were good and honorable; quitting didn’t make me less of a man. I always tried to prove people my worth by being a good player, but he told me I was valuable to God and that God loved me for being me. It was a turning point in my life. I walked from that office and away from football but closer to God. Coach Hehman was a big part of that. "

"She was a tough coach but I loved my four years as a student athlete."
