I don't think people are reversing: most people have said it's time for a change, but they'd be happy for Dan to leave on a high note (myself included).
We have said this over and over, but most people like Dan Monson, as a person and as a great representation of the institution over time. Any everyone wanted him to succeed since the beginning.
It's not like he's been here for 8 years and people are being unrealistic. He's been here for 17 years and support for the program has declined. That's why this AD, who comes with a fresh perspective (not what has been happening - what CAN happen), likely made this call early (especially coming from SDSU.) It was just time.
This is not new in division 1 basketball: it is in fact happening more and more. 17 years is a long time: the random people commenting on social media are NOT the people who have supported LB State every year for decades, and all 17 that Dan was here.

Many on here reversing how everyone felt about CDM. Nice guy, yes. He did an amazing job the first 5-8 years. Had nothing built up the program. But the program went stagnant. Just to compare ourselves with another mid major. New mexico made the tournament this year. Last time was in 2013. They've gone through 4 coaches. Last time we were dancing was in 2012. And had the same coach. Which is better?
