"This coach has no idea how to run a practice, let alone a program. When he was the interim head coach at Cornell they had their worst season in history. They went from 12-5 to 5-12! He was so inept that players, parents and spectators alike were convinced he was purposely trying to lose games because no college coach, no matter the level, would actually make such poor decisions on and off the field or intentionally create such a toxic culture. Never Again! "

"Coach Steve is one of the worst coaches I have ever had. He is extremely cruel. He has commented on our bodies and how we should look which I believe is absolutely unacceptable. He is harsh, extremely negative, sexist, and rude. He gossips about players to his favorites and causes drama and is a 50-year-old man. . . INAPPROPRIATE. 6 players quit."
