Length of Tenure
Frank - 5
oscar - 6
Reason for end of tenure
Frank - Who knows? With Frank there is always his temper lurking like a shark tail in the curve of expected outcomes, but I think that it is reasonable to expect that he is average there, which would make him a certifiable SC hoops legend. A well respected coach in a conference that allows him to make the tourney/NIT more than he otherwise would in a different conference. I'll say 4 post-seasons, probably 2 bubble teams, 2 NIT. 1 Tourney to 3 NIT if I had to nail something down.
oscar - '12- NCAA rd 32, '13 Bubble lose 1st rd, '14 NIT 2 seed, '15 Bubble, '16 NIT '17 Meltdown
Conference Play
Not sure if anyone posting in this thread noticed, but the SEC abandoned divisional play. The divisions don't matter for seeding in the conference tournament and they don't matter much for the 18 game schedule. So I'm going to list what I think Frank is going to do in the 14 team confy.

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/conferences/standings/_/id/23/year/2012/sec-conference 10-6 got you 2nd place a lot of years in the SEC. I think Frank gets 5 this year, and averages 9.5 after that. 10 wins should be good enough for Frank to make the post-season every year. Frank gets 6 games against Mississippi St., Auburn and LSU and 3 against UK, Florida, Tenn.
oscar - round robin means 6-8 brutal/toss-up games a year. 6-8 winnable games and 2-4 freebies. oscar averages 9 wins. Finishes in the top 4 two or three times, but closer to 5 and the middle of the pack than ever threatening top 2. Unfortunately as has been repeatedly speculated around these parts this will be good enough for a long comfortable tenure, followed by the tide finally turning, likely on the back of KU's 200th victory in the series by some ungodly point differential, with the media absolutely killing oscar while Frank is smiling in March and Bill Self is cutting nets on a ladder all across America.
Will they coach at another Big conference school
Frank - Yes.
oscar - Probably.
