Why? Stanford has a great thing going, great recruits, Milt seemed comfortable there. UNC has been in the pits seemingly forever. Why would someone leave that position?
Why does every director leave Stanford?
First it was Vin Lananna getting out, then Floreal, now Milt. And there have been some others I think as well - maybe not directors.
A) there is lots of pressure B) It's expensive.
I once heard a story that the AD once asked everyone to raise their hand if they'd won an NCAA title. I can't remember if Milt was the coach there or not but basically everyone in the room save for the football, basketball and track/xc coaches raised their hands.
So basically the expectation is you will win an NCAA title.
