and will not settle for less.
Alabama football
Kentucky basketball
LSU baseball
If you coach one of these teams, you are on a short leash.
Am I wrong? Are there others?

Aggy male cheerleading is very demanding on those boys.
Their knees take a lot!

I would say LSU football and LSU baseball both demand greatness. We expect to win nattys in both sports. Coaches that fail to do so within a few years will be on the hot seat and then get fired after that if they dont win one within a couple seasons...that's a fact. Doesn't matter the buyout or who they are as a person. Nothing matters but winning national titles when talking about expectations for lsu football and baseball.

Florida football is on that list.
If you don't win there frequently and in a certain way - domination and high point totals - they will fire your arse.

LSU football, certainly. It has fired two national championship winning coaches in recent history.

Naw, you're not wrong. All three of these programs DEMAND success and they won't settle for less. LSU baseball is the "Alabama" of baseball. I would venture to say their baseball fans are more demanding than their football fans. But that's why they have a historic baseball program. Same with Kentucky basketball, they don't settle for "good".

Not really. Otherwise Napier would've already been fired.

South Carolina baseball is the only one that I feel like applies at SC.

I don't think so any longer. They have allowed their program to slip back to the pack a bit and have been competitive nationally, but not close to dominant. They are dominant on a conference level, but many Arkansas fans have been unhappy with the men's team since McDonell left.
Arkansas fans correct me if I am wrong please.

I think I could make an argument for Mississippi State baseball just due to the following and investments made into the program over the last 40 years. Granted, demanding greatness doesn't always mean you will automatically achieve greatness. Baseball really is a fickle bitch aint it.

No sir. If you are a nice guy we will keep you around way longer than Bama would.

Bucknam should have been gone long ago. The womens program though has almost turned into what the mens used to be.
All in all, the men have still won 10 national titles since 2000 and the women have won 9 national titles in that same timeframe. The womens 9 titles have all come since 2015 though. The mens have been spread out from 2000-2023. Certainly not at the pace it was under McDonnell
