What They Are Saying<br />
About Skinner...<br />
"I've followed Craig's career since he was a club coach and he's produced<br />
nothing but winners. It won't be long before he has the <strong>Kentucky</strong> program<br />
competing with the best teams in the country."<br />
- Pete Waite,<br />
Wisconsin Head Coach<br />
“Playing for Craig was unbelievable. He made us, as athletes, work hard<br />
and love the game. That motivates me—I want to be the kind <strong>of</strong> coach that<br />
Craig is. He has such a deep knowledge <strong>of</strong> the game and I have learned so<br />
many things about the game both playing for him and coaching with him.<br />
He’s got a great family, he approaches his job with an outstanding work ethic<br />
and he makes work fun.”<br />
- Jenae Dowling,<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> Assistant Coach<br />
"Craig has enjoyed tremendous success everywhere he has been. With his<br />
leadership and staff, there is no doubt that he will direct <strong>Kentucky</strong> Volleyball<br />
back to the top <strong>of</strong> the SEC and return it to national prominance."<br />
– Jaime Gordon,<br />
Morehead State Head Coach and former <strong>Kentucky</strong> Assistant<br />
“I believe Craig to be a coach <strong>of</strong> great character and integrity. There is no<br />
doubt in my mind that he is one <strong>of</strong> the best coaches in the country! In a day<br />
where winning seems to be everything, Craig has been able to keep a balance<br />
in which our players can maintain their pure love for the game and can enjoy<br />
their college years to the fullest.”<br />
– Robert Pulliza,<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> Assistant Coach<br />
"I know Craig will do a great job in his new position. His experiences at<br />
Nebraska and Wisconsin, in addition to the tradition at <strong>Kentucky</strong>, make for a great<br />
match. Craig is a great person and will have success leading the Wildcat program."<br />
- Russ Rose,<br />
Penn State Head Coach<br />
“From everything that we’ve heard, <strong>Kentucky</strong> is a perfect place for him.<br />
He’s hired a great staff, and we are proud that two <strong>of</strong> the three staff members<br />
he hired have Nebraska ties. He’s in a tremendous opportunity to build that<br />
program and compete in the Southeastern Conference.”<br />
– John Cook,<br />
Nebraska Head Coach<br />
