So what really is the "normal" time frame for an AD search? Coaching searches have well-defined annual activities that suffer greatly if you don't find one in a reasonable amount of time. But ADs... could an institution go an arbitrary amount of time without one (in the absence of, say, a high-profile coaching hire gated by the lack of an AD)?
