I'm not saying that is the sole reason. But some of our fans don't have to complicate matters by whining like b!tches 24/7.
Hey, did Tennessee fans prevent Schiano from being hired there? So let's not pretend that there is NO precedent.
Again, if Michigan fans had whined like b!tches for months on their websites, do you THINK that the Miami fans would have been more opposed to Mario hiring Gattis? And I'm not saying that would have stopped Mario, as he did a lot of stuff under the radar. But it could certainly impact other schools.
Fans read the boards. Some of those fans are boosters. Some of those boosters tell ADs whether they feel that certain candidates should be considered. This has been going on for quite some time.
