So far Peters' has been really good. I too was leery of the hire but have been really pleasantly surprised. I thought it was strange how there didn't seem to be a broader search or rumours of interviews when there were some great coaches on the market though too, I just didn't understand that thought process.
It's irrelevant though because Peters has done or said all the things I hoped Gulutzan would. For all the things I complained about Gulutzan, Peters has fixed all those problems. He demonstrates great leadership, uses tactics like timeouts or challenges properly, and most important rewards players who are playing well and demotes players who aren't (true meritocracy). He seems highly tuned into each and every game and he isn't afraid to call people on their BS in a way that doesn't embarrass them.
The most concerning thing for me today is that Peters is showing us that it's actually just that many of the players simply don't care enough or have that passion in them that is needed to be successful.
