Gene smith is not a good coach. I played for him when he coached at CALU. He took full credit for transforming that team when it was actually the coach prior to him and he was gifted great players. He will manipulate you and is a sleezebag. Smooth talker and young girls will take the bait. Keep your daughters away from this man.

This is the same Gene Smith but he’s not listed as Bluefield Stares women’s soccer head coach 5 days……5 days before the 2025 Bluefield State women’s soccer season, with nothing more than an email to the AD, Gene Smith resigned as head coach of the team. No notice to the team, no notice to the transfers, no notice to the freshmen. 5 days…This man abandoned these girls. 5 days…no coach, no assistant coach, leaving only a first year grad assistant to pick up the pieces and an athletic department scrambling to find a replacement (kudos to them for their response and commitment to these girls). Bluefield State is certainly not the high profile women’s soccer coaching job most coaches covet, but it is a great group of hard working, dedicated young ladies who were excited to be part of new beginnings and committed to the team….5 days. He abandoned these girls. This man should never be allowed on a college sideline again and I hope any college AD who even considers him for a job realizes one thing…5 days.

Not a good coach. Sexist. Felt uncomfortable. Shouldn’t be working with female athletes.

Great addition to the Marist Women's Soccer program. Have seen much success with his presence, and am confident of much more success in the future with his insight and coaching.
