And to add to that... There is not a recruit in this entire current process that would make Joe C. and this admin "rush" to any decisions or feel like they need to move quickly for their sake...
This is a decision that needs to be made CORRECTLY... no matter how long it takes. And if you want a coach that's worth a crap, that almost universally means waiting until THEIR current team is done playing...
And this has the distinct look of Capel blowing the whistle because he realizes he's out. A very bush league move if true... and honestly a pretty nasty sabotage attempt on his part.
But, I still wouldn't expect it to make Joe feel like he has to rush either. Hiring a guy now vs. hiring one in 3 weeks make very little difference in the grand scheme.
