You posted an article about how fans were turning on him and the AD thought it was stupid and then he won the title. It could not possibly have undercut the point you thought you were making more, it's hilarious.
If there's anything to learn from the article you posted, it's that firing a dude who turned your program around from an also-ran to a nationally relevant program would be stupid. You would've been screaming to fire him, and firing him would've cost UConn the title.
"Yes I posted an article here the AD mocked my argument but what did you expect the AD to say!?" Admittedly, that's what I expected the AD to say, because it's a silly argument to make.
