Does anyone think a fan base can bring down a program?

If they did I can think of several programs that would be toast.

Hmmm the program that comes to mind when I saw this thread was Nebraska for some reason during the years after Osborne left.

People expected to continue to see that kind of championship level team EVERY year. Even Osborne didnt have a championship level team every year.

and no I don't think the bitching by a fan base can ruin a program as long as they still pumping money into it.

I don't know if they 'can', but they 'will' if it's possible. And this message board is their platform.

Yes, this is my exact point. When expectations are not realistic and those expectations are not met then fans are ready to see changes made and in many cases the changes might not be for the best.

nope...
WINNING or LOSING does it.

when a coach is winning, his enemies can not hurt him.
when a coach is losing, his friends can not help him.

This is on the other side of the spectrum. Are you being sarcastic?

You hope? Didn't we win the NC just 3 years after replacing Smoke - he was "negatigered" by the fan base relentlessly.

Yeah, I think a fan base can become so obnoxious that it hurts recruiting -- keep in mind, most of our recruits read this web-site --- do you want to play for the large number of assholes who want the coach fired for being #4 in the country?
