Fanbase is still in denial about the decade of destruction of a once Cadillac program.
Golden is rebuilding and retooling. The price of imcompetant hires by an indifferent administration and a scandal have taken their toll and will not be repaired in less than 5 years.
Agree with all except the bolded.
Bad hires happen to even the most forward-thinking leaders and organizations. I don't think Shalala et al just suddenly woke up one day and said "y'know, I really should start caring more about the football team; think I'll hire Al Golden." IMO, she and the rest of the admin have cared about the success of the football team all along; they've just received and taken some bad advice and made a couple bad decisions based on that advice.
