way for anyone else to set their expectations for the program. I doubt there is a single fan in any other fanbase who reads the coach's contract and tries to guess what the AD expects from the program and adjust their expectations for on the court results based on that. That is a very unusual way for any fan to try and create expectations, and if that is really the exercise you perform you can surely see why it results in you being at odds in terms of expectations with most everyone else.
My expectations for Cuonzo are that he rebuilds MU to the point where it is realistically possible to make a good hire to replace him. I no longer think he can do it, I suspect we will be making a hiring decision from a somewhat cratered and undesirable position. But if he can stabilize the program to some degree so there is mediocre fan excitement, some expectations of competing in the SEC, and a roster not devoid of SEC talent when we need to make the next hire I think that would be good. And hopefully between now and that point there are some good moments on the court as fans we can enjoy.
