Maybe not, but turning around a team in a deep WCC in our backyard isn't anything to sneeze at. Despite his unhappiness at the time, he still identifies as a Golden Bear and says he has fond memories. I think time and experience has given him perspective and I doubt Cal fans will hold his abrupt departure against him if he can win us games. He was my era and I would be ok with reconciliation.
Haase was only with us for a year. During that year his dad died suddenly, Campanelli got fired for being abusive, and he got benched. Can't say I blame him for wanting a change or even hating us forever.
Legans would be more like targeting Herm Edwards (not the best example given his time in ASU but you know what I'm saying).
The odd thing about Haase is that I seem to recall his dad was a UCB graduate and fan. Maybe Jared went to Cal because of his dad and he felt he could choose his own path after he passed. Not judging him, but I think others might do the opposite. I think he just didn’t gel personally with Kidd and the rest of the main guys. You could see him maybe being on the outside of that clique, which I don't think would be a very comfortable spot to be in.
I also just remembered the rumor that Kidd beat up Brendan Graves, which prompted him to transfer to Santa Clara. So the team dynamic might not have been warm and fuzzy depending upon which clique you were a part of.
