Now their buddy buddy coach is gone in favor of a tougher coach again.
I view it similarly but slightly different

Hartley: Strong motivator (short-term), held players accountable, not a great strategist or systems guy

GG: Strong systems guy, not a great motivator.

Peters: Hopefully the mix of both. By all reports both a strong systems guy and a taskmaster.
