Semantics. We just have a different philosophy.
I still don't see how fan support helps you maintain your level if GM is at Alabama right now alone.
You better hope your AD would have hired the next GM...and that has nothing to do with fan support.
Nothing can guarantee that you will get a home run hire but fan support (and the associated money) sure helps make a better hire. If you can't understand that, then well that's on you. I hope your admin doesn't have the same mindset and doesn't care about fan support.
Keep showing you examples where fan support and the associated money does not equate to success or continued success. See the Chicago Bears and University of Illinois both of which have lots of money lots of fan support and yet could not sustain success after losing a coach. The next hire was a bad hire and it's set the program or team back a few years no matter how good the fan support was and the money that came with it. Wichita State understood that and was willing to pay a lot more money to try and keep Gregg Marshall around.
Mostly coming from big donors.
Do you not get that?

Maybe you are dense...
You are making an assumption that fan support will help you sustained success long-term whithin your program due to the money it brings in and the support with sell out crowds and everything that comes with that. However the number one factor for replacing your current coach with somebody new will be the decision of who that hire is by your athletic director. If he fails that choice your fan support and your money within the program will not be a factor if that new coach cannot sustain the success in recruiting and overall program growth at Wichita State University.
You think fan support impacts how good your program is going to be but if you hire me as the coach you guys are doomed no matter what until you get rid of me
Fan support is good but it will not help you sustain success If you hired the wrong coach

Last time I checked all those UNC fans didnt help hire those coaches, the AD did.
This guy is trying to,make himself more important than he really is at that school. Yes, you help create a great home atmosphere, yes you guys give money to the athletic department, but no you don't offer the head coaching job to a coach, which historically came from the ranks of the low majors looking to advance their careers to a bigger basketball program
