And it's possible he couldn't really explore that until other coaches' seasons were over/until they are over. I'm not sure that means he announces everything on the same day, but it might explain why he needs to wait to do anything at all until the post-season is wrapped up.It is certainly true that if Muir is going to hire a "name" coach, probably by throwing money at the problem, it would require that said coach has finished their season. It could also be that this is the strategy but that said strategy will not succeed. If that happens, then Muir needs to find a coach that will be credible and that will take the job. In this case, he may not be confident that there will be improvement, but he at least has done something. That can work, as I think when JH was hired he fit into the "credible but not a sure thing" class. Let's all hope for a good hire, however it happens.
