But what do you expect them to do?
Currie/Fulmer: Hi ___________ (Petersen, Patterson, Brohm, Morris, Gundy, Taggart, Fisher, Sumlin, etc...), we'd like to offer you an obscene amount of money to be our football coach. Much more than the market dictates is fair, and enough that you'll create generational wealth that will far exceed your lifetime.
Prospective Coach: Nah, I'm good.
And even if they try to sell the job to the person some more and ask them a 2nd, 3rd, 4th time, they are told "no."
What are they supposed to do?
We don't know that those big names were contacted, although we've had reports that some of them were.
You go after the names on the list, and when you are told "no" you move on to the next person on the list.
My point is NOT that this search hasn't been a failure. My point is that the failure isn't 100% due to the ineptitude of Fulmer and/or Currie.
