Hughes wanted to make the whole thing about himself when in the end, it is the fighters who have to fight, so he should have went out of his way to help them win and I think for the fighters in question, it started out with a comfort level to be established.
As for your whole scripting stuff you always have to bring up, do you really believe that all the fighters complaints on Hughes training is scripted. Danzig said, "I've dealt with poor training before.." I find it hard to see them make Danzig say something he didn't believe.

Mac Danzig is an exception here. He's the ringer. He has the most experience and the most skills. He's way above a beginner coach. And, lets face facts, Hughes is not Greg Jackson, Pat Miletich, or even Matt Serra when it comes to coaching experience. Danzig should be training with a top level coach. Actually, Danzig is too good for TUF. He should already be in the UFC.
And, to me, what most people say is "bad coaching" really is just inexperienced coaching at worst. But, it's NOT just Hughes coaching on Team Hughes. So, people are not just attacking Hughes. They are also slamming Robbie Lawler and the other Miletich guys on Hughes' coaching staff.
