The abysmal drafting and treating of 2nd round picks like they were trade currency ruins it for me. He was a horrible amateur talent evaluator and never had a plan past riding Iggy and Kipper into the ground. That said I have him and Treliving are neck and neck and I just think Coates would have done a better job than both of them if he had their resources.
