You do have to question how much player sentiment should matter. Every coach either gets tuned out right away or is hated by several players. And for every guy that hates the coach, there seems to be guys that love the coach.

We are due for a likeable coach that the players tune out after half a season or so. Excited for that!
And then add in what I'm guessing happens behind the scenes.
