Coaching Hires over the last 2 years

Well, for the most part if you are a big name, successful head coach somewhere, why would you want to change jobs? It typically wouldn't befor the money, because God knows most of the major BCS schools can pony up just as much cash as the next one to keep you happy. If you are winning and being paid well there isn't much of a reason to pick up your family and move them halfway across the country to start a new job.

That leaves the talent pool of "proven" head coaches available filled with those who have resigned, retired or been fired. If you have been fired there was usually a reason and you are damaged goods. If you resigned there is typically an understanding that it was to save face because you were about to be fired and are damaged goods. If you retired, you really don't want to work anymore, at least for a couple of years.
