This board has had more than its fair share of haters who live to see coaches from the previous AD get the axe. Of course most of them would be jobless or perhaps without a college education if they were held to similar standards.
Really? I'm not sure that I've ever seen this kind of thing mentioned on this board. Maybe you're thinking of the other boards? In fact, before you mentioned it, I hadn't even considered which AD hired LC. Without the tourny run, she needed to leave. Still don't think she's the best coach we could have, but she's earned herself one more year based on how she brought the team together in the tourny. If she got them to finish matches like that all the time, this wouldn't even be an issue.
Stupid comparison. Most of us have our jobs based on our ability to bring more money in to our companies than we cost our companies. Since it's nearly impossible to make money with the volleyball program, what else should we base her on? Are you telling me that she doesn't have the resources to be in the top 40ish big conference volleyball teams most of the time? Maybe not every year, but more often than 1 in 4! If she can't even get to the tourny any more than that, let alone win a game, with the resources she has (when in reality, we oughta be closer to top 25 every year), then she needs to move on to a different program.
