Can you clarify what you mean by this?

Texas FB thought they were getting Saban and Urban in the past, with fans like “well we’re Texas, why wouldn’t he want to come here?” before “settling” on those hires

FSU FB - same with Bob Stoops. FSU fans were convinced they were too good to hire a G5 coach when Taggart was fired

Tennessee - Gruden and every other rumored high profile coach before “settling” yet again on a G5 coach

South Carolina and Texas Baseball both “settled” on G5 coaches after fans were convinced they weren’t beneath hiring a top name

Kentucky Basketball fans thought they were getting Billy Donovan before “settling” on a G5 coach

Miami FB, USC FB...

These are all off the top of my head...and these are all teams of great historical provenance. Ya know, like LSU baseball
