They are not going to have the luxury of too much time, otherwise, we'll end up like 2001 where the CEO (Schwab) will be be dealing with trading time, and we'll end up doing stupid things like giving up our 1st three picks for Trent Croad, (in a draft that had Hodge, Ball, Judd & Mitchell to name but a few..)
Oh...wait...can't do that, because we don't have a CEO either....!
The GF is in 35 days time, ....if we are going to effectively talk to anyone about coaching currently involved in finals...well...good luck...and likewise for the horse trading of players....
Couple of weeks after the GF, trading season is on.
So, I would humbly suggest they need to have these key positions bedded down by a couple of weeks before trade period...so, that being the case, we can't 'swan about' finding THAT person for too long.
....6 weeks max, I'd reckon....otherwise, we've got another chapter for the mighty tome titled "Stupid Things We Have Done"
