at a place where one could habitually under-perform compared to expectations and still rake in the big bucks?

Well, he has under-performed to the level of 9 wins, 10 wins, 10 wins, 8 wins.

That seems a little less than the talent on his team, but not exactly Buddy/Wlat levels.
And of course he did get much of the current talent to come to UCLA.

His teams do seem particularly unsuited to playing Stanford however.

But expectations are a witches' brew of unrealistic desire for perfection and the reality that some games are much more important than others.  If Mora continues to deliver mostly wins but no key wins (USC, Stanford, conference championship) then things could get dicey.
