Imagine you are a college football coach and a Power Five program gives you a chance to run their offense. You are looking to get a second chance at a head coaching job after a rough previous experience.
You establish a great relationship with the head coach, learning many different things about coaching at the FBS level that would have helped you at your previous spot.
