Coach Surace isn’t always the coach you want but I always feel like he’s a coach that you need. He is smart coach and is good working with people outside of football to bring help in. You won’t always get what you want/expect from him but I sincerely believe he works for his players and the program as a whole.

Coach calls it likes he sees it. The success and culture of the team is a reflection of his leadership and ability to not only recruit the best athletes but the best athletes that will fit. I would not change a single thing I did during recruiting and committing, choosing Coach Surace and Princeton was the best decision of my life.

Coach cares deeply about the welfare of his players, extending far beyond the field. He is fantastic in helping set guys up with jobs. His career at Princeton got off to a rough start, but he has found his groove. As a lineman, it was particularly great to play for a guy who had coached that position in the NFL.
