Regardless, I don't think a rational discussion of what would it take to get a coach of that caliber is that crazy. Telling Swarbrick to just cut a check is silly but looking at all the factors in the discussion is not. Especially when our processes to date over the past 15 years have led to mediocrity at best. Saban is just an example of who we should be targeting in our next search - he's not the only target. But a discussion of what would help win over someone like that is productive. At least in my opinion.
Or you can take the equally unrealistic approach that "no one like that would EVER come here."
And yes, I am self important.
