It's not O...it's the fact that we deserve the best. There are a lot of "nice" coaches who "really" wanted to be here...but is that the standard we should use when hiring a coach?

What does this even mean? I'm not defending O, but we weren't even targeting the best. We went after really good Fisher and high potential Herman, but not the best. If we wanted the best, we would have targeted a coach that was consistently putting his team in the top 5 or so every year. Fisher might be close to that and Herman might get there soon, but we didn't have a list of the top 3 or 4 proven best college FB coaches as our candidates.

We also clearly weren't willing to pay for the best, or do what it takes to get the best. You can lure the best here with big dollars and full control, like we did with Saban. None of that was on the table.

Getting 'the best' was not a priority in this coaching search at all.
