I would say a 7+ win season with a playoff appearance would be enough for Bubba’s job to be safe. A step forward would be building off of the 2016, and winning a playoff game, even if it weren’t at home or as a seeded team.
Have not seen a release from the conference, but I believe the volleyball seeds are as follows:
1) Sacramento St
2) North Dakota
3) Idaho
4) Portland St
5) Northern Arizona
6) Idaho St
7) Weber St
8) Northern Colorado
