Yeah, I won't dogpile on IgiTang, but those assumptions are way off base. It seems to me BT has a pretty clear plan. It is called due diligence.
It seems like they are only interviewing retreads (whether you like them or not), because it is the retreads that are currently available. This is a "process" (overused, but still true). It will take some time, and I think given that, he wasn't that high on Boudreau, notwithstanding his qualifications. Boudreau was going to be hired in short order.
My personal opinion is that he has a type of candidate in mind, but not necessarily a name in mind. I think the fact that this is a longer process probably means he wants to interview a number of guys still working in the playoffs (be it NHL assistants, CHL or AHL head coaches). I am more than ok with that.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
