There was no outcry against Dennis Erickson?
I posted the link in an earlier post, but I'll post it again in case you missed it.

"When his name came out, there was a tremendous amount of skepticism," said Sam Jankovich, now the New England Patriots' chief executive officer who as Miami athletic director hired Erickson. "People were wondering what I was doing."
They were doing more than wondering; they were revolting. At one point, Jankovich said he received several death threats from outraged Hurricane "fans." Such was the lunacy.
An AD getting death threats counts as a "outcry" to me.
Yes, getting a handful of letters in the mail is an "outcry".
