Has done a great job at every step of his career. Incredible recruiter and outworks his resources. Players seem to gravitate to his personality'. Teams are very organized and will run through a wall for him.

He was a terrible mens soccer coach at Northeastern University. He is zero knowledge of soccer, doesn't under tactics so forget about learning or growing under him. He is a coach that just plugged along as an assistant for couple years then got the Northeastern mens soccer job in 1995. In America, all to often you don't need to know anything about soccer to get an assistant coach position. Then this allows someone like Ed to be a head coach. Then someone like him coaches kids and premier and the bad cycle of coaching and teaching continues to America.

I liked touring the school and seeing the how the coach was with the players. I personally didn’t think I would fit in the system here but I think other people would fit right in! This is a great school but it just wasn’t right for me.

The most unmotivated coach I have ever had in my soccer career. Complete disgrace to the game. The lack of knowledge he possesses for the game is unacceptable. I feel sorry for the players that have been under his direction. His players caliber of play diminishes under his guidance.
