He also became quite unpopular by the time he left here

partly because his form fell off a cliff, his insistence on playing CB ("if I can't play CB I'd rather not play"), and his falling out with Farke.

He is perceived by many as arrogant, and barely anyone wants him (SCC apart). So he'd be on a hiding to nothing unless he got off to a good start - something he's never done in his coaching career.
