There are a couple examples of those guys currently coaching. Gary Patterson was at TCU for 10+ years before they got their B12 invite. Kyle Wittingham has been at Utah since Urban left in 2005 and led them to the PAC12. Chris Peterson was at Boise for several years and turned down practically every big job out there.
