How long would you take to hire a person who would steer the culture of your business, hopefully for as long as possible? As long as it takes to find the person you deem to be the best?
Not to mention the other stuff Treliving has/had been doing during that time.
A lot of times, coaches get fired to specifically be replaced by a newly available coach. When that's not the case, my guess is ~month is pretty common.

I would have guessed 3-4 weeks was the average duration in recent history. Wasn't Hartley fired May 1st? If so, we are edging on almost 7 weeks with no announcement.
It also doesn't help that this search been beaten like a rented mule around here the entire time making it seem longer than it has actually been.
