From a Thayer Evans piece in November. On leaving tOSU and taking his first head coaching job:
"You have to weigh the future risk, but there's also a future monetary benefit because you are going to make more being a coordinator here than you are being the head coach at somewhere like Kent State," said Herman, who earns $650,000 per year. "You have to weigh that, the risk of the window closing, the risk of the money you are going to be walking away from."
On finding the right job:
"You're really betting on the situation," Herman said. "As good as I think I am, there are some situations that I don't think Vince Lombardi could be successful in. You are betting on yourself, but you're betting on all the information that you could conceivably absorb when you're trying to make that decision."

Another article from Dennis Dodds says that he got the Ohio State job based on references from Chip Kelly and Mack Brown. He's now added Urban Meyer to that list.
