Carl Sheffield is less than just a bad coach, he’s a sad excuse of a person. For some odd reason he managed to be employed at the university for over 20 years. He has openly made homophobic, racist, sexist comments and microaggressions toward athletes and staff. He has told staff that if he’s going down, em he’s taking everyone with him. He has instructed coaches to allow athletes to break the rules and to look the other way, so that if they ever wanted to kick the athlete off the team, they could (entrapment). He regularly threw temper tantrums. He regularly was tardy to events. He was regularly Ill prepared for traveling, and managing the team during travel. His accolades and achievements are vastly absent despite being at the university for over 20 years. He threatened individuals for their scholarship and position on the team on numerous occasions throughout the year. He plays favorites and allowed for individuals to blatantly break rules and still compete and be apart of the team if he liked them, but if he didn’t they were remove (this included but wasn’t limited to DUIs, being caught with paraphernalia, fighting, and disregard for team rules). I’m disappointed, along with many other athletes and staff that he wasn’t fired earlier than 2022.
