Honestly, that isn't the worst approach. Its tough to fill a legend's shoes and a lot of times those with big egos don't want to follow someone that is/was an icon. Transitions from legendary coaches to another successful coach are rarely seemless. Bring in someone who is a warm body for a few years, then fire him and go all out for the home run hire when the timing is perfect.

Of course only ADs with solid job security can make moves like that.
