It doesn’t really matter how many games he won, he left the program in worse shape than when he got here.

I’m curious why you don’t think it’s in worse shape? Because as a whole, fans just don’t give a crap. People that live in town and have tickets don’t even go to conference games. Ten years ago, people would drive from kc for non con games on a Tuesday. There is complete apathy. That alone makes it worse.
Because that apathy is moment to moment. If oscar came back with Pack, Nowell, and heralded transfers and a preseason top 25 ranking, a chunk of that apathy would be gone.
I'm not going to act like the apathy isn't there but it's largely overstated by people who don't feel as great about the program, and that's understandable. I went to the Iowa State game at the end of the year, and while it was far from 2010, there were still 10,000 people there and I still had to pay $50 a ticket to sit in the 27th row. I also had season tickets in 2011-12, and it wasn't 2010 either. If Frank's team fell off a bit in 2012, the crowds wouldn't have keep coming either. There are plenty of threads on here complaining about crowds during the OOD too. I remember 7000 people watching K-State's second game at the Sprint Center.
We hire Brad, we get 10,000 season tickets. We hire Tang or McCasland and they get out the gates quick, they'll be 11,000+ in Bramlage over winter break for the first confierence game.
The program and the fan base are fine, this isn't Wooly taking over for Asbury.
