Can folks in the coaching world assess potential HCs pretty well before they get a big job?
Yes and no. 

I mean, it's like any job. You can hire the best engineer in the world, but when he or she gets the job, those signs can mean something, or sometimes they don't. 

With him, there's the bias that we already know it worked. People probably said the same of Will Muschamp. And then that happend.

Initially Urban turned down the BG gig, and Earle Bruce was furious with him because he had really stuck his neck out for him in order to get him the interview. He said "Sorry coach, I just didn't think that it was a very good job." Bruce said "Of course it's not a very good job! That's why they're calling YOU!" So he changed his mind and took the job.

Coaches have likely predicted 24 of the last 3 head coaching "greats"...

Maybe OSU lost to the only good team it played so far?

Maybe Dabo is a jackwagon and a little butthurt by his team's performance

Mullen might be gone now, a loss to Mizzou, and it's not a shock.

They still need one more win to be eligible for it.

Granted I'm excited to see the pregame tradition where each school sends out their largest boosters to flush millions down a midfield toilet, as they do each offseason
