We missed our opportunity at growth due to a crap head coach during an exciting era. Snyder killed the fanbase. We got some of it back under doc but if we aren't going nearly undefeated, we still have the issue of lack of excitement within the base. I think Snyder did too much damage and jaded our fans. Heck look at herd fan boards, they piss ok doc if all he does is win 8, 9, games...I would have killed for that with Snyder.

While that may be partially true, I doubt just any coach could have won with what Pruett left in the cupboard. Plus, we got hit with the scholarship reductions. Snyder was fighting a losing battle to begin with.
