Pete was a good coach and knew his soccer, thats not the problem. He didnt know how to control himself mentally and didnt treat people with respect unless he needed something. Only the people that were close to him could see this. This is probably why 95% of his players didnt like him, becuase they were treated like trash, especially if you didnt have any soccer skills. The players that were good were treated like gold. Smyrna might not be as good in the near future, but their attitude should change substantially for the better due to the fact that they wont always have the negative attitude coming from their coach.
Lets all put the Pete Dakis era behind us and move on to the present.
Good Luck Smyrna with whomever your coach may be!
