Well if he's the hold up because he's waiting to see if there are better opportunities, I wouldn't think CJP would be waiting around for him to make up his mind. Seems like CJP would have moved on to someone else and not waiting.Someone supposedly close to Freeze said in a tweet that Freeze wanted to take the process slowly so that he could see just what options were available for him. This may be the cause of the delay in an announcement. Also they said that Freeze wants to be a head coach as soon as possible. That's his real goal. So he will chose which option he feels gets him to that goal.
Given all that, I'm not sure that it is in our best interest to hire a one and done OC. We need some measure of continuity over the next couple of years. I'm not sure what other option might be the best for the long term.
