I don't think they could have done it this past time. They were in shambles and they are also having to directly compete with Saban more than anyone. No truly big name coach was going to come in there during this time and potentially ruin his career (no offense Aubs).

We could've, actually. Many coaches were prepared to take the job if they got full control of the program. Of course, Jacobs told them no, and while I love Gus, we hired a Sun Belt coach.
