If you really wanted Iowa State to succeed, but felt like the only way for that to happen would be for Prohm to get fired, you'd disengage completely. You'd let apathy set in and hope it set in for everyone else. You'd stop going to games. You'd stop buying tickets.
But you don't want Iowa State to succeed. If Steve Prohm won tonight, you'd be pissed.
For those of you that missed the McD era, this is what it was like.
