What do you mean by this? That the fans are frustrated with Pinkel? Or some other attitude issue?
I think he's just saying negativity breeds negativity. When all you read is negative feedback whether here, Tigerboard or at the barbershop(hair salon), it is inevitable that that negativity is going to spill over to others and ultimately recruits.

I would agree with that 100%. We are a patient fan base, but we've gotten used to winning. Pinkel is a victim of is own success. He taught us to expect a fairly clean program, decent number of wins, bowl games, and coaches that were focused on improving. He established a reputation as a family man and someone with a lot of integrity, and we saw that bleed over into his teams.
Then, there were rumors. Then a DWI, followed by a divorce. Then the affair. So, all of a sudden he's not acting like the man we thought he was. If that was the case and he'd continued winning, the fans probably wouldn't have made such a big deal of it. But the team had a bad year, and it started looking like his personal problems were bleeding over ontot he team. Everything fell apart for him in a very short period of time. We'll see if he can get it back on track, or not.

Yeah, this is what I meant.
