It's because a lot of football fans are emotionally stunted manchildren

All of those examples you mentioned, they're things associated with the immediate aftermath of something bad happening, a negative turnover, a post-loss press conference, etc. But you can tell what they really wanted to see is the coach throwing a tantrum that mirrored their own: screaming in anger, stomping around, throwing/breaking things, a child's tantrum in an adult's body. They say they want the coach to "show emotion," but they implicitly believe that the only acceptable emotions are anger, rage, etc., because they're too stupid to see through the lens of anything beyond their own lived experience. So, what specific behavior of the new coach will annoy a bunch of VT fans? Just watch for the bad outcomes, when all the slack-jawed yokels are howling with anger, flapping their arms around, dumping all their toys on the floor. Whatever the coach is doing at that moment, that's what they're going to latch onto.
