Is there really a unrealistic expectations/short lifespan problem? Howland lasted 10 seasons despite mediocre, Tedford-like underachievement on the court toward the end of his tenure and off-court revelations I consider fireable. Lavin, before Howland, was more consistently mediocre and lasted 7 years. Seems to me UCLA is a patient bunch with its basketball coaches.

They expect Final Fours and championships, but that's their history and they have greater resources and brand to compensate.

I'm shocked coaches aren't running to take that job. It's one of the plum jobs in college sports.
