No he wasn't. The reports of his major expeditions do not tell of any massacres or other forms of cruelty towards the peoples he met. When the going really got tough, he was careful to send back anyone not essential for the expedition and continued with only a small group of men. After his expeditions he was accused of crimes committed during his travels, but an inquest cleared his name completely.
He and his men abused the Pueblo Indians and forced them to become slaves. I'll let you decide whether he was a good man or not.
One of Coronado's main goals during his expedition was to find the Seven Cities of Cibola because of the great wealth that was supposed to be there; however, after a 2 year long expedition he was unsuccessful in finding the cities. His lack of success was not because he didn't look hard enough, but because the Seven Cities didn't exist.
Hernán Cortés was a descendant from an old line of knights, he studied law for two years in the Universidad de Salamanca; this helped him to build the strategies to conquer Mexico-Tenochtitlan in just two years, after that he was not only successful, but the most powerful man in Nueva España, and one of the most powerful men in Spain.
He was a very bad man!
Francisco Pizarro's motives were to find riches. I know a lot about this guy and he was not a good man. He killed many people and broke promises.

What I meant was WAS Francisco Pizzaro a bad man! My bad :P
Francisco Vásquez de Coronado.
Yes there was this Indian man that told Francisco about these seven cities of gold and that is what influenced him to take the " trip"
One of Francisco Vázquez de Coronado's quotes is "I am convinced that there are other letters in these mountains and other men who will give an account of what they have discovered." This quote reflects Coronado's exploratory spirit and optimism regarding the new lands he was discovering.
He used a compass his own two feet and horses
yes he was.=Coronado was born in 1510 Salamanca Spain, the second son of Juan Vasquez de Coronado, a wealthy noble man; his mom was Isabel de Lujan. As a young son, Francisco could not inherit his family fortune because it was given to his older brother, little is known about his childhood.==Many historians believe that Francisco Vasquez de Coronado was one of the greatest explorers. He is well known as one of the greatest conquistadors. He was driven for wealth and fame. He listened about the tales of golden cities and guess what he found?=

"A man shall never die under enemies control"

Coronado
He met the Pueblo Indians and a man who they called "the Turk" who was supposed to guide them to Quivira, a City of Cibola (Gold). He found out he was misleading them. He made him try again and when they didn't find it, they hadhim killed.
