how about the last 3 CEO's of GM... the entire sport of formula 1... the roman catholic faith...
but seriously, id rather them not hire before the end of the PO's if they're going coordinator route... i mean do you really want them to rush in to get the first guy who they can, which will either be internal or from another team that also didnt make the PO's, seeing as most of the retired coaches are content staying retired until their dream job comes calling (who can blame them?).
i'd rather wait until they can get a guy who knows what the playoffs actually are, and they have experience coaching at least part of a team to the playoffs and want their chance to coach, and actually will take this job without having to be handed part of the team plus $10+ million a year.
