Poor Communication

"I have been on campus for 2 weeks and I am already shocked by how little Coach Costello knows about pitching. When I saw that a bunch of pitchers went into the portal after last year it should have been a red flag. Unfortunately Coach Bowen talked a good game but it appears to all be false. Not only is coach Costello lacking in knowledge but he belittles the other coaches, my teammates, and former players behind their backs. He has nothing positive to say unless it’s about himself. I wonder what he’s going to say about me? Avoid this place if you are looking for a supportive positive environment. Looks like myself and the other pitchers are on our own to get better. "

"Not sure who he is coaching for. He does not seem to make the best coaching decisions, and manages his team out of wins often. Not sure if he is just a bad decision maker or just completely incompetent. Be cautious, as he will tell you what you want to hear, but his actions are completely the opposite. He does not seem to care about creating a supportive environment and shows very little pride in his program. He hires some knowledgeable staff, but their voices are squashed. Other staff are just as inept as he is. His players show success despite his ineptness. This program could be so much better."

"I had a fantastic experience with this coach. Coach DuPaul took over the worst team in the Patriot League, by far. Before his arrival, Lafayette was 10th of 10 teams in cross country with 284 points. With no scholarships, he led Lafayette to a 3rd place finish in the Patriot League. We were 32 points away from winning the championship! This was the COVID year where Navy did not compete, Army won with 41 points and Lafayette had 73, scoring 5 athletes in the top 20. In his 5th year, despite losing two of his top runners, Lafayette placed 4th (as Navy competed again) with 134 points. In just 5 years, Lafayette went from 10th to 3rd and 4th, improving 150 points in the league championship in a small, 10 team conference. All without scholarships. 2 years after he left, Lafayette just placed 9th with 256 points. Athlete development has halted since he left. The talented recruits that he brought in, such as a 4:08 high school miler, are not improving. The new coach is doing worse, despite having more talent on the team. It is not a coincidence that Lafayette improved so drastically once Coach DuPaul began, and not a coincidence that the team has declined so rapidly after he left."

"I ran on some of this coach's earlier teams. Maybe he has improved, but I had a challenging experience with him. He lost all of our trust in him as he would constantly complain about each of us members on the team to the other members of the team in private meetings. Of course, he would not say any of this to our faces, but it just created a toxic relationship between much of our team and him. I also heard that he said nasty things to the team about me after I graduated which was upsetting because I put a lot into the program for him and was respected by my other coaches and teammates. Our team rallied around each other and did well but I certainly wish we had had a different coach."

"Coach DuPaul was the lone bright spot among the Lafayette coaching staff. He always had a positive attitude and went the extra mile to support athletes in other events. Even though I was a thrower and he coached the distance team, he always talked to us and cheered us up. He was well respected by everyone. The angry kid below is probably one of the troublemakers that everyone on the team disliked. "

"This coach struggles with a high degree of the basic necessities of scholastic coaching such as caring about and putting the athletes first, communication, fostering a structured and competitive team environment, and being an educator. Not to mention he also lacks the knowledge of the sport to generate the best competitive results out of his athletes and is to vain to admit that and attempt to learn from other, more successful coaches in the sport. The results at Lafayette were misleading as they were achieved after the pandemic in which the athletes were largely away training on their own and their success had nothing to do with this coach and was about the ambition, dedication, intentionality, and locker room vibe facilitated by the athletes themselves. Worst of all, this coach makes everything about himself and suffers from "blame the kid syndrome" when things go poorly on race-day. A coach in a collegiate program owes it to their athletes, institution, and community to be a servant leader, educator, and instill skills in their athletes that can foster success both competitively and after graduation in the professional world. This coach comes up markedly short in those areas."

"At Lafayette, Coach DuPaul turned the worst team in the Patriot League into one of the top teams in the league. It was a transformation that none of us thought could happen because we were so far behind the other teams. We ran bigger PR times and stayed healthier compared to schools we competed against. We were consistently beating athletes from other teams that were a lot faster than us in high school. He improved the team culture by making small changes over time. Changing it all at once wouldn't have worked. Over time we grew more passionate about the sport and now more than half of us that he coached are running marathons after college."

"Liam Bowen is a genuine, caring man. He dedicates himself to the betterment of his team, and truly cares about his players. He is successful in managing and keeping his team organized. However, there are more knowledgeable coaches. Having a knowledgeable coaching staff around him is very beneficial to the team. He is very straight forward about his style, he wants his players to play the right way. He does not want his players to act of character at any time. At first, I wasn’t too sure about him, but as time went on, I found him to be a genuine, funny guy that I enjoy having in our dugout."

"Coach Dupaul is pretty knowledgeable in the sport and overall a good coach. Some workouts I question on why we’re doing them or if the time is really right but for a vast majority they’re fine. He creates an emphasis on making the team closer together outside of the sport. I don’t have any real complaints other than at some points the program seems a little bit disorganized and things are put together at the last minute."
