I would probably rephrase to say if this program is able to be damaged by the critical posts of IB and kcsu, then we might be totally ****-ed, and that would be weak.

There are certainly factors that either damage the program, or maybe we should call them barriers to success.  I would put this message board very low on the priority list as far as that is concerned.

My sense is that Go has a pretty good source on the team (he's been posting some short insider tidbits here and there) and that source probably told him that the staff reads this board and that any perceived negativity isn't helping them do their job.  But I would also expect every coach to think that about their message boards.  Coaches love fans, but hate message boards, I think they hate the internet in general, those that are aware that there is one anyway.

Any negativity that makes Marrone's job tougher probably isn't residing here, because the people here go to games, donate $, etc.  The ones that claim to be fans but don't care enough about the program to attend games or join a message board are the ones causing more of a problem.  The general lack of capital at a private school with a smaller enrollment/alumni base in a poor conference (for now) is also much closer to the top of the list.
