Fran was a good coach and the players loved him, but the program became stagnant, people stopped going to games and it was just time for a change.
At some point (hopefully soon), we'll have a new coach and we'll all get behind him and his potentially new players. Hopefully support starts to ramp up again and NIL money comes with it. But it's going to take some time and a lot of effort to get it to where we all want it (if it ever gets there).
Most of us are getting what we wanted and it'll either be great or it'll be back to the Lick years.
