Fletcher was always going to be a bad fit because, personality wise, he's a bit of a control freak and has some very set ideas about how things should go (loves the forward press, bowlers must be able to bowl 85mph+, spinners must bat, etc) and behaves like a sulky child when things don't go his own way.
If what's commonly acknowledged about certain senior players largely calling the shots for the Indian national side is true there was always going to be friction if they didn't buy in.
&, judging by the fielding with Penney (one of the very best fielding coaches) in situ, it's a fair guess they haven't.
