[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1438449, member: 7292"] Well, the vast majority of fans were also blinded by optimism thinking we were making the NCAA last year and we finished one of our worst seasons in 20+ years. Similarly, the vast majority of fans do not pay attention to buyouts because when a coaching change is made, it is hard for a fan to think that it is a bad decision and things will go downhill. Even when Self was fired, there was a strong anti-Self sentiment with posters talking about how he was going to fail at KU and Weber was going to be a fantastic coach who will stay here forever. That is why you need strong management, decision makers, and ADs, who hopefully can make better decisions than the ones we have made in the past. Because the reason for Illinois' fall has been bad administrative and coaching decisions, not the fans, as delusionally optimistic fans can be at times. [/QUOTE]
