I think most Tech fans liked Fuente as a person and family man...


Not so much as the head football coach during his final seasons here. I liked the hire but after 3 or 4 years it became evident that he wasn't getting it done. Fuente never warmed up to the fan base. Maybe that works in the NFL but most college sports fans want to know their head coach. We all knew Frank and his family. He was accessible to the fans. For example, Fuente was the last ACC coach to go on Packer and Durham. It took almost two years for him to go on that show. Frank would've been on that show 6 or 8 times a year. You can bet that Coach Pry will represent and promote Tech much better than Fuente. I think that he feels how important that is to the program, the university and fan base. I, like a great majority on TSL, only wish Justin Fuente and his family the very best. It just didn't work out.
