If you listen to Sirius XM it's a quite popular operating procedure across the country. The culprit behind it all sitting back licking their chops......you guessed it, the media. They fuel it to create a story then turn around and bash the fan base for it. No surprise though.
If it had continued down the path of Troy, considering a firing is warranted. If he can patch together a decent season following Troy, he might be on to something. If Alleva and O turn this bus around and reclaim a seat at the NC table, I think all the vitriol will dissipate (well, most of it, some are really hard headed).
Kind of like watching the Moo U/Auburn game and thinking maybe Moo U was pretty good this year. At least until the game started.
