To be fair, everyone was happy with the last coach til the season got started.

Untrue. There were many red flags before season ever kicked off.

The results were much better than in the past few years. Wins make people happy unless the right people don't play.

If by "right" people, you mean best players, then you are correct: the "right" people didn't play. So even though the win record was better, still not where it could have been. Neither of which has a thing to do with the real reason the previous coach was dismissed.
