1. If that's your ceiling it should get you fired as Lady VOLS coach. At most programs I would agree with you. We are supposed to be top 2, we should act like it. 
3. See above post. Sometimes it isn't just about revenue, but also perception. The LVs are one of the things the university is nationally recognized for. We should do what is necessary to keep it elite, not just middle of the pack.
4. It's much more disrespectful to Pat and her legacy to keep letting the program sink. 5 years is PLENTY long enough to honor her wishes as Holly being her successor.
Does anyone think when geno retires that uconn would be happy with the occasional elite 8?
Much like the football program should, if you are supposed to be elite, act like it. That's the problem I have with it. Our administration doesn't care. They don't appear to have the desire to be elite at anything, and I don't care for that attitude.
Edit* I want to be clear that I like Holly and would love for her to be successful. I hate suggesting that coaches be fired because they put so much of their life into it. Especially someone like Holly who absolutely bleeds orange. But those in charge have to put the best interests of the program ahead of that.
