Yeah, knowing they've now got embedded in their midst a self-serving, underperforming coach's pet whose willingness to throw them under the bus for the sake of his own tenuous self-preservation will surely instill an enthusiastic confidence in his new teammates to be themselves around a proven soft jackal. Then throw in the media spotlight and likely need to tiptoe around his suicidal, mommy-controlled, drug-addled emotionally-fraught mindset for fear of offending him, setting him off through routine clubhouse verbal jousting/horseplay and/or being narked out, and I'm sure you've got the majority of the clubhouse enthusiastically on-board with this move, no matter what lipservice they may be encouraged to pay.
