And, I would agree. I'm not saying who I would sell the farm for between Jimbo or Herman. What I am saying is, if you have identified your guy, you go and get him no matter the cost. That's what they did.
But Saban wasn't their guy. He was their plan C.

I think they wanted him, but he turned them down. They went for Rich Rod (
) and got turned down; so they upped their offer. Saban turned them down again. They went for Greg Schiano ( 
) but got turned down, so they upped their offer to Saban AGAIN. IIRC, Saban was the highest paid coach in college football when he was brought to Alabama back in '07.

That's fine. But, they didn't say "Oh, well he will cost too much, let's go plan D or E." Or, "He's going to want an insane amount of administrative control and operational discretion, so, let's go further down the list until we are comfortable with the cost scenario."
Mal still had to go to Miami and do some convincing and make some concessions, even with Saban ready to hit the eject button.
