I think the difference with this coach in waiting, is that they upped Jimbo's salary by 5 million if he wasn't the head coach by 2010 (the idea was so he wouldn't leave to go coach another school)
that is where they screwed themselves when Bowden wasn't truly ready to go and they were on the line for an extra 5 mil - something had to give...

on a side note, I now wish I had studied football like crazy when I was younger - I so could have been a head coach somewhere by now making millions... *sigh*
