Fans don't know shite. When Bob Stoops went to OU he was a coordinator, not even a head coach. Tressel went from Youngstown State to Ohio St. You never know where the next Saban will come from.
Agreed. But it is possible to see current HCs that are underwhelming and assume they would continue to be underwhelming.

Kinda. I mean both Les and Saban were pretty underwhelming hires when they went to LSU. Hell so was Chiz when we went to Auburn.
The way I see it a coaching hire does two things:
1. It gives a team a coach
2. It validates (or not) a fan bases's perception of themselves in the pecking order of college football
The only time fans every really get a reality check about who they are is when its time to hire a coach, so in that way a splash hire has the benefit of making a fanbase feel better about itself (aka #2).
But in the long run that doesn't matter.
