Timetable to hire a HC...

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Is it uncommon to hire a new HC outside of an organization prior to the end of the season?

I know in the presser, when asked about the hiring timetable, Clark responded with the whole "we are worried about winning the game this week, and then the next...and the next" answer.

I ask because of the 'timing' aspect of the firing. I feel Pioli has someone on his short list and wants to get to them first before anyone else does. Funny how the Dolphins fired Tony a few hours later...

...is McDaniels THAT hot of a candidate?

PS. We should trade Orton.
