The article highlights the tension between coaches and online critics while emphasizing the team's need to rebuild support from their fan base ahead of an upcoming game against the Citadel.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
