Entirely possible. What's also possible is that none of us have a f**king clue what's going on. As soon as the hire isn't quick enough, everybody assumes it's because BJ sucks and is ******** it up. Are you guys such a bunch of battered wives that you can't imagine anything going well?
This right here. Those "elite guys" all have jobs right now. Look how long Michigan waited to get Harbaugh.
Huh? You chose the wrong example. Harbaugh and Michigan were linked long time before the hire. He is an alum who always wanted to coach there and no doubt they were talking behind the scenes for long time. So yes, they can wait forever, they knew he was coming.
