I think the initial fan reaction did make them back off Fassel and prompted them to go back to the drawing board. But maybe it was a good thing in hindsight. It gave them more time to evaluate things, and in the end they realized they had a qualified candidate already on the staff in Zorn.

I don't care how they arrived at the decision, and in the end it will be wins and losses that either vindicates this decision or proves it to be wrong. Time will tell.
