Disorganized, cannot develop players, not to be trusted, gossips with players about other players including confidential personal information.

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. Most dehumanizing Coach I have ever had. In his first year 7 girls quit throughout the year, 4 left after the year, and our assistant coach AND boathouse manager left. Never watched most of the girls on the team, made awful comments, and just overall no emotional connection. Please RUN.

Dan Gehn is indisputably the worst rowing coach in the IRA. He is a complete and utter jerk with no knowledge of how to make a boat go fast. His entire ego revolves around the erg and, should you ever disagree with him, you will find yourself in tremendous fear of an irrational and undeserved punishment. Coach Gehn is absurdly disorganized, immature, and genuinely the worst leader and role model on this planet. The Gonzaga athletic department refuses to fire him despite numerous complaints every year and fails to listen to its athletes, directly disregarding the school’s values and policies. Shame on you Gonzaga University - this guy needs to be fired ASAP!

The king of gaslighting, name calling, threatening, scapegoating and backhanded compliments. If you have any other offers, take them. Stay away from him and NIC Volleyball. 2024-25 NIC season was a disaster. He bragged nonstop about all his leadership and communication certifications. Terrible coach, terrible communicator. No team captains. Lots of handpicked bullies. No regular player meetings. He did not call anyone by their name or number, he singled us out and called us by our weight, height, or by nicknames made up by him or other players. If he liked you, practices were optional, and you could bully teammates and give nicknames. He looked the other way when girls were bullied during practices. During halftime or after games he would yell, cuss, and tell us how worthless we were. All the 2024-25 player stats on the NIC website are incorrect; the entire coaching staff know but refused to make changes. They said the stats did not matter because nobody is good enough to play on. No grade checks during the 2024-25 season, 3 or 4 of his favorites did not have the grades to play. All the coaches knew. He said grade checks were not mandatory. They are on academic probation now. He recruited a club player of his. She is a toxic. Practices were mandatory for everyone but her. She cussed at us and the coaches. If she didn’t like you, you got a nickname. Semester 1, no grade checks. Semester 2, she is on academic probation. He picked bullies to run NIC social media accounts. Go check, there are no birthdays, awards, or anything. Practices were mandatory but you never knew if you were practicing or watching. If you spoke up, he threatened to take away your scholarship. If you defended a teammate, he threatened to take away your scholarship. Some LOI players were told they didn’t have a LOI and were given no scholarship. The team finished the season 8-13. He blamed us for making him look bad. No cardio. No lineup changes. He blamed us and said some would not be invited back or he’d take our scholarships back. 7 sophomores on the team. Only 3 sophomores are graduating. 2 girls quit the team and moved away from CDA. None of the sophomores are playing at university next year. Because nobody is good enough, right Drew. Drew, Jess and Hedder talked 2 sophomores into dropping classes so they can return for the 2025-26 season. They’ll be back for a 3rd year and on a full ride. Drew has a recruit at NIC right now. He had no housing for her, so made us move this strange girl into the dorm for the week. She’s a bad dream and we are stuck with her and having to dodge the RA.
