Right, that's what I mean by the risk of doing it


Alabama got to hire Saban after he'd already won a title at LSU, and it was far more expensive than most other coaching staffs. Texas A&M paid Fisher the highest guaranteed contract in the country, might even still be the highest. It's incredibly expensive to reduce the risk of the coaching hire if your goal is win championships.

Virginia Tech is almost always going to be picking either a coordinator with no experience, or a head coach from a lower tier. It's the only way they can afford someone who might win titles, by hiring them when it's still unknown whether or not they've reached their full potential. If they wanted to start spending 10M/year on the head coach, and 2-3M/year on each assistant, and millions more on a gigantic staff of non-coach analysts, then it would be a different story.
