Thing is, every time when a new Hokage had to he chosen, there was always somebody more suitable than an Uchiha to the position. Even if Madara would've stayed in the village, i think Tobirama would've still been a better choice than him. When Hiruzen took the spot, there wasn't any known Uchiha capable enough. With Minato, he was probably a better candidate than Fugaku.The battle was more Minato vs Orochimaru than Minato vs Fukagu. The only debatable time was when Hiruzen took the place for the second time. Fugaku might've been a decent choice, but the whole commotion with the Uchiha and Nine-tails speculation, and the village probably wouldn't have trusted him.So Hiruzen, an experience person on the matter took the spot again. Afterwards, there was no Uchiha candidate for the Hokage, since the clan was almost extinct, until the Naruto vs Sasuke battle, and we know how that ended.
