Emotionless, calculating manager hires emotionless, calculating coach leading to emotionless, robotic team? We've certainly accused the players of having lack of urgency & engagement, while GG & co have called it "patience."

IMO, sometimes a little emotion at the top levels can be a good thing.

The team's hole was almost too deep to climb out of even 4 weeks ago. At that point, a little emotion and impatience would have been a good thing with no downside. Even if patience is needed to get things fixed properly, a good ol' coach firing would have at least sent the message that it's time to stop digging the hole deeper.
