“On Coach Englehart as a person: “He’s the best. In my four years at Rose-Hulman, he was like a brother to me. He was younger, so he could relate to an 18-22 year-old in a way that some coaches can’t. He’s a first-class person, he’s a family man. First and foremost, I respect the way he lives his life and goes about things. You can’t say enough about his character.”” — Derek Eitel

“On Coach Englehart as a football coach and the qualities he will bring to the Florida Tech football program: “I think he’s definitely a player’s coach, but he will be firm with his players. He will make his players respect him and he will have discipline. Although he is still a young man, he will make them do the things that they need to do to be successful in the classroom and on the football field.” — Jeff Jenkins

“On Coach Englehart as a football coach: “He’s a player’s coach. He demanded a lot of his players, but at the same time he gave his players a lot of freedom on the football field. As a freshman quarterback, he gave me freedom to audible. In my first few starts, I made mistakes and at times changed the play to a wrong play. Despite my inexperience, he never took my confidence away. In my freshman season, I think he really molded me into the quarterback I ended up being.”” — Derek Eitel

“I certainly wish Steve a great deal of luck, and I will be following him. He went to Indiana State and helped turn around the program with (head coach) Trent Miles. I look for him to continue his success at Florida Tech.” ” — Jeff Jenkins

“On Coach Englehart as a football coach: “He is one of the best coaches I’ve been around. He’s very detail and goal orientated. He’s very organized. He listens to his coworkers. I saw him take an offense that was the worst in school history at Indiana State and turn it around in one season to the point that we scored the most points in school history, 351. I think that kind of sums up the one year I had a chance to coach with him, and his ability as a football coach. He’s a great fit for the Florida Tech football program.” ” — Mike Simmonds

“On Coach Englehart as a person: “He’s a family man. He’s very dedicated to his family and his wife, and is a classy individual. He is an outstanding head coach. I was glad to see him become Florida Tech’s head coach because I think he will do a remarkable job.”” — Jeff Jenkins

“On the qualities Coach Englehart will bring to the Florida Tech football program: “He’s a very intense coach when he needs to be. He can be laid back off the field at times, but when you get him in front of the white board and he starts drawing up plays, his eyes light up. That intensity is projected to the players. He has a great offensive mind. At Rose-Hulman, we were undermanned at times and a little bit smaller, but he made us think that we were going to go out and take the opposing team down every game. That confidence and intensity that he instills will make men out of any players that come through his program.”” — Derek Eitel

“On Coach Englehart as a person: “Steve Englehart is a great family man and a great person in general. He has great morals and does things the right way. He has three great children and a great wife, Carrie. His number one priority in life is taking care of his family. He also treats his coworkers as family.”” — Mike Simmonds

“On the qualities Coach Englehart will bring to the Florida Tech football program: “He’s been dreaming about being a head coach again. He’s going to demand a lot from his players on the academic and on the athletic end of things. He’ll want to develop a total student-athlete that will be a contributor on the football field and graduate. He’s going to build that program the right way with energy and enthusiasm. You’re getting a great man, a great leader, a great person, a great football coach in Steve Englehart.”” — Mike Simmonds
