Biggest thing for me is the players believe in Hartley and buy into what he is preaching. Under Brent the players looked miserable, confused and disinterested but under Hartley they look like they are having fun. Hartley doesn't seem to mess with what doesn't work, and focuses on winning, where as Brent would continue to try something even if it wasn't working. Hartley, "while not perfect" has done a better job of rewarding players who put in the effort, but Brent kept rewarding players for bad efforts.
I was thinking the other day if Brent coached this team we would be back to micro managing and players looking miserable every time someone made a mistake.
