It could be that our boosters aren't in love with Alden, and he's playing with a short stack. Think about it: hires two up-and-comers in Pinkel and Snyder, then when Snyder's gone, he still has some good will with the boosters, using that to get another up-and-comer in Mike Anderson. By that time, there's already questions about his ability, and some boosters back off. He's forced to settle for a has-been, trying to sell the "Miami's not a basketball school" story. Fourth time around, big money people don't trust him, and many don't even want him there. Even if I had a shit ton of money, I wouldn't trust Alden to make things work with Marshall, so why spend that money?
