Yeah, for years after he was gone, I was like why do so many not like him?
On the flip side I was like why do so many love Pry? While I don't think either of them was the guy for us. Fuente > Pry when it comes to being a HC IMO. I feel like he could coach a G6 team up and be right back in consideration for a P4 gig.
