"This guy does nothing but lie to his players… heard stories of him being a pathological liar when he was a player himself in college. Also personally pocketing money from the program.

"As a parent of a player, it's paramount to know that my son is being taken care of when he's not at home. My son finished his first semester in college better than he ever did in high school--and that is directly attributable to the environment that Coach Nelson and his staff creates. Thanks, Coach!"
