Well-intended, positive personality, knows a lot about the game, but mentally just kind of all over the place, unorganized, makes careless mistakes. Overall good though, certainly preps players to get better individually, i think he’s much better as a 1-on-1 coach than heading an entire team.

Winning is Coach Polley's number 1 priority. He is not the best with words, but he truly cares about his players. He has their backs when they get in trouble and will help them in times of need. He pushes the team to work harder every day and is never satisfied with mediocracy. If you work hard and add value to the team, he will serve you well.

Ryan Polley has completed a feat that many D1 coaches have not done, which is get a new program to a winning record in the first 3 years. The progress of the team is a testament to the ability of him and the coaching staff to overcome adversity that comes along with starting a program. As a young team there is a focus on fitness, fundamentals, and toughness instilled in practice. With every year the culture continues to build and grow, which is another goal of the coaching staff.
