The off field stuff was unpredictable (unless there were known extramarital affairs before and we overlooked them).
Obviously I agree that no elite coach is going to join us in November. But if Cohen is right about the interest in our job it tells me that he either 1. underestimated the potential of our job or 2. he took a needless chance. What we did would be like Alabama hiring Hugh Freeze coming off of being an OC somewhere when they could have had Saban or Urban Meyer.
