I don't really remember an opportunity to get a coach like that either. A coach either makes himself a legend on your team (definitely option A), or he has to have a recent record mediocre enough to get canned. And for your own teams coaching timeline to lineup with that of high calibre coach getting fired is almost pure luck.
The only example I can really think of is Boudreau... but I personally took a sigh of relief when he signed with Minny. Looking back, would he have been a better option? Probably.
