I actually think Fu is a good cultural fit


However he’s not had the proper PR guy/support to help him get that message out to the fanbase at large (listen to TTL from Monday if you haven’t)

Frank wasn’t the best public speaker, but he was local/one of our alums etc.

Fuente has many of the same values as Frank and if you look at his current stage in life/coaching he’s on a long learning curve similar to what Frank experienced as a P5 head coach moving up from FCS (Fu from G5). I don’t think Frank figured out the recruiting thing either for about his first 4-5 years too.

Anyway. It’s a different world now than 1992 also and I get that. My thing is…Fuente has needed a John Ballein like Frank had…and he hasn’t had one
