I was thinking about this watching the ULL/Ark St game.

ULL has a good coach they know is on his way out eventually and Ark St has a coach that was once a exciting new name for a big time program. They have to be ecstatic when they have coaches like that at a program of their caliber.

Even lower tier P5 schools are happy to hire a coordinator from a successful Head Coaching Tree and hope they can produce.

Meanwhile, LSU (and other upper tier schools) want someone who is already at a P5 school with a +.750 record, had at least 10 wins in his first season and no off the field baggage, but then make jokes when a team goes 7-5 after paying a coach 7-9MM per year.
