Loubo I have better regard for though, since it's obvious that he has done a ton of homework on players and knows the sport inside and out. Wills on the other hand was an AHL guy for another team, and all of the sudden when he's hired he a "Flames Insider".
I wasn't a Smith hater at all, and probably overdefended him at times here simply due to some of the over the top criticisms, but it was pretty apparent that Wills liked him a little too much. One can speculate it might be because Smith, as an older player, gave Wills more time than some of the kids.
