I know more than a few people who know Trooper personally, and theu all say he is a really good-hearted guy. They say he genuinely cares about his players and the people he works with. I think his fault is that he is not hard enough on his players when they frick up, which can lead to some problems, obviously.

I've heard much of the same about him. He's got the best of intentions relative to his players, and genuinely wanting them to succeed in life. It's the way he goes about "helping" them that can lead to issues. He wanted to be a players coach, he wanted to have a personal relationship with them and try to impart some wisdom and guidance that would help them. In the end what they may have needed was a firm hand and some tough love.
