In my opinion, the problem isn't when everyone wants your coach, it's when no one wants your coach.

I agree that Ohio State is not an average P5 school. However, I believe I could come with a list of about 2-3 dozen "average" P5 schools that could somewhat easily take a coach off of all of the following: DePaul, Seton Hall, Providence, Butler, Marquette. For a few others in the conference, I'm only holding back on adding them to the list because right now they have "special circumstance" coaches. But the point is, for as much chest thumping Big East fans do, and for as much as they love to argue that they're right on par with P5 schools, they're mostly lower on the hierarchy of coaching positions, and it's not even a debate.
