Well any time you hire a new coach as long as some of the desired markers

get ticked people get naturally excited. I think Fuente showed what he could do offensively with real talent. Ford, Phillips and Evans provided the blueprint for what his O could do. But he couldn't replicate the talent.

At the end of the day, if he was spending $750,000 on an OC instead of $400,000 - he probably would have gotten a much better plan B than Cornelsen.

I think Pry can fix the talent issue, but I think the rest is overblown. But, he has no excuse not to bring in a competent OC and DC with the money he has available.
