I'm not saying that Utah is a premiere job - I'm just curious as to why Cougar fans don't think a basketball coach will stay there after precedence shows that he will.

Looking at the larger trends in coaching, coaches that are succesful in lesser leagues usually go for a bigger job when they get the chance. There are literally dozens of examples of this. Majerus was the exception to that generalized rule and I think it was more related to him personally than to the institution.
By way of comparison, Lavell staying forever at the Lords University does not mean that Bronco will do the same if he is offered a different good job. I suspect that he might take the bigger job. Especially if the Cougars do not make a good faith effort to pay him.
