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.
