The fans and alums had nothing to do with Coach p being ridden off, it was an incompetent chancellor and an imbecile of an athletic director making a poor, impulsive decision.

Besides that, the situation isn't remotely comparable. The basketball team has all of the correct foundational pieces of the puzzle in place for a rapid turnaround, with the right infusion of energy and new ideas.  What's holding us back is having a geriatric coach who isn't willing to put fourth the required effort to recruit at the highest level, and who has grown increasingly out of touch with what it takes to relate to contemporary players. Which comes as no surprise, and isn't a black mark, given that he's nearly 80 years old

The football team in 2004 did not have the infrastructure foundation in place to be successful, and it cost us. And that situation was exacerbated by making the worst hire possible, bringing in an incredibly incompetent head coach to supplant coach p.

Apples and oranges.
