Just like Replacing Miles you start your search with a list of the best football coaches in America from who you think is the very best and start listing them from top to bottom. For the sake of argument, say you go 75 deep. You start with Belechik, then Saban, then maybe Urban, etc. You keep going and going until you get to 75. You go back to the top of the list and take a big fat Sharpie and start drawing lines though the names of guys that will not come. After doing that, you probably get to someone like Jimbo, who is still very high on the list but is the first guy that is a real option. And there's where you start your REAL list. That list becomes maybe 10-15 solid options that you begin to vet and start to reach out to. Sooner rather than later you will find the guy that's high on your list of attainable coaches who will take the giant bag of cash that you're offering to coach our NFL laden roster in front of our 100,000 seat stadium. That's the process...and the list of names between Tom Herman and Ed Orgeron and his sub .500 career coaching record that should have been vetted and contacted and offered is about 15 miles long...and everyone knows it.

All that above? Same thing...just OC's. The list of potential OC's considered much MUCH better options by everyone in football above a man who has not even BEEN an OC since the Clinton Administration is probably even longer than the gap between Herman and Orgeron.
