Let's say Herman or Jimbo are hired, and they say the same thing "I won't have an OC until after bowls." Are people as concerned in that situation as they are now?

When you have a known commodity at head coach, it lessens the risk at coordinator hires. If Jimbo or Herman don't get a stud OC, it won't matter because at the end of the day, it is their offense. If Saban doesn't get a stud DC, it is still his defense. Yes there is a risk that hiring the coordinator for the other side of the ball is crucial. However, when your head coach isn't particularly good at either, you have double the risk, since the offense AND defense are wholly dependent on coordinator hires.

Bingo.

If Jimbo or Herman were here, I wouldn't be concerned with any hires honestly, OC or DC. They have a plan with how they approach the game and I'm sure they make decisions with a purpose.
