"My experience with Coley at Bama was nothing short of amazing. He was supportive, compassionate, and helped me through some difficult times. I swam great and my teammates loved him. While there are a few vocal former swimmers and coaches who try to deride Coley on social media, he was a class act and had the respect of the majority of the team. Hope he chooses to coach a college team again. "

"Your freshman year Coach Putyrae helps develop you a lot, believes in the potential you have, and is always available for a meeting. However, not much can be said positively for the years after. I watched him change his training plan every year since I've been here, and now his mentality just seems to be that whatever team can squeeze the most meters into one practice will win NCAAs. Little seat racing done, and girls passing out at practice seems to be a weekly occurrence. While I am able to push myself further than I thought I could, doing 24K on the erg every steady state practice makes the team culture one of exhausted and burnt out athletes. I felt anytime an athlete brought any of this up to Coach Putyrae, he never felt he could make any change to make the athletes happy, and in turn didn't listen to them."

Direct Intense Accessible Creates A Great Team Culture Old School Mentality

"Coach Pursley is a hit-or-miss head coach. His ability to motivate and recruit is excellent. His ability to form relationships with his team is minute if not non-existent. He is radically religious and conservative, and he works these concepts into his leadership style, making his atmosphere feel fairly unaccepting at times. Pursley ruined the athletic hopes of many by instituting unwavering practice ideations that worked for some but were detrimental for most. I clearly recall and athlete experiencing an injury that knocked them out of the sport post-season. That athlete worked hard to return to the pool and complete their career in the best way possible, but Pursley never offered a single word of encouragement to that athlete, one who had put forth immeasurable effort to build themself and the team. Swimming under Pursley was a catastrophic experience on me, mentally. Physically, anyone could make it. The psychological strain from Pursley will stick with me for the rest of my life. "
