Old School Mentality

Creates a stale environment that causes players' growth to plateau. Continuously brought in and played 5th years over well-deserving players who had been on the team for years. Does not know how to develop a team and relies on the transfer portal. He only conducts the same 5 drills at practice and rarely scrimmages, making every day/season repetitive. Will not be upfront or honest and repeatedly strung players along for a season and even years until it was too late to transfer. Has obvious favorites and will only be respectful to players if he needs them. Does not have extensive knowledge on the game and will often answer questions with "it's situational" - most of our team successes came from the leadership of captains and upperclassmen on the field. Was very catfishing during recruiting and made a lot of promises he could not keep. Players on the team are fantastic and made my time here enjoyable and worth staying for.
