"Coach Frye is always the first person to come up to you and greet each player before practice started. He takes the time to know the players and value them for who they are on and off the field. He has kids of his own, but I genuinely felt like one of his kids by how he took me in! He demonstrates the family dynamic coaches should have with their players"

He dedicates his time to making sure his guys is prepared for not only what to expect, but also the unexpected on field through film, drills, and extra time in practice.

"My son played for Coach Frye for 4 years. It's hard for me to imagine someone that I would recommend more, in terms of the final steps in moulding boy into man. As with any college career, there were highs and lows. Coach was Frye always climbed the mountains and stayed with him in the valleys and I'll always love him for it. "

"Coach Frye is great. He is a players coach through and through. He sets a high standard for his players and motivates them to maintain that standard. He genuinely cares about his athletes’ well-being both in and outside of football. He fosters an environment of mutually earned respect. He has fantastic social skills that enable him to connect with seemingly any individual from any background. This creates a culture where his players can with one another as well. On the field, he brings high energy and expects the same from his players. While film sessions can be full of light-hearted fun, he makes sure there is a shift in focus when there needs to be. His coaching style is definitely hands-on, showing his players that he is as invested as they are. I’m glad I had the opportunity to play under him. He’s made a positive impact on many aspects of my life."

"Michael Frye is an excellent coach. Truly cares about the player beyond the game of football. Not one to beat around the bush as he is direct with his expectations. Ensures you are sound mentally, academically, and athletically. A players coach, someone people who aren’t in his position group will be sought after for his input. Genuinely seeks to help you improve all aspects of your game. Regardless of current team culture will fight to build a winning culture within his position group. Someone who I am grateful to have had the chance to learn from. "

"She doesn’t know how to run a practice. Disorganized and wastes so much time talking. While she may have been a good wrestler, she does not make a good coach. She is very set in her ways and not at all understanding. She makes decisions for the benefit of her daughters on the team rather than the team as a whole."

"Coach Frye is the kind of coach that everyone wants to play for. He loves football and is passionate about it, but he also understands the importance of everything off the field and will do everything in his power to help you with academics and just life in general. He will motivate you to be better in every aspect of your life. He is a great example to players and the kind of leader that anyone would want to follow. He also has an impressive football knowledge, and his understanding of the small nuances of the game allows him to always have an edge over his opponents. In short, coach Frye is the most complete coach that you could ever find, and it was an honor to play for him."
