The fan base turned on him as the Orange failed to achieve the national status they had enjoyed under Schwartzwalder, perhaps, failing to remember that Schwartzwalder's last few seasons were mediocre ones (only one winning season in his last five), and his 1970 team had been stricken by racial unrest.
Support for him waned as the Orange fell short of achieving widespread recognition under Schwartzwalder, perhaps due to a lack of recollection that Schwartzwalder's later seasons were subpar (only one winning season in his final five), and his 1970 team was plagued by racial tensions.
