Hiruzen lived longer than them all and was in office longer than them all, possibly combined. How the hell does that make him a bad hokage? The Uchiha massacre happened due to Obito's intervention, or else it wouldn't have been a problem at all (Itachi was pretty much outright stated to be Hokage material, and an Uchiha Hokage would almost certainly have defused the whole situation, which only got that bad because of Obito'sattack). Even then it only escalated because of Danzo, who prevented Shisui from enacting a bloodless solution, but you think he'd have been better?
