Even with the job I was just hired for I was told that as soon as they saw my resume they knew I was the guy they wanted but it took them over a month to finally hire me because they wanted to see who else was interested and if they were a better fit.

I don't agree that it was "incredibly stupid" unless Peters actually proves to have been a terrible choice as a coach. We are a very long way from that yet, and despite an awful few games here there has actually been a lot to like with Peters.
And let's be honest, here: the call-list of NHL coaches for every possible job opening is incredibly small. Treliving knew exactly who was available, or even potentially would be available before he hired Peters. He had conducted quite an extensive coaching search just two years prior, and I think it is likely that he also knew everything he needed to about every coach that might be considered for the job. This is nothing like hiring a new officer or executive for a company which is one of hundreds in an industry that employs tens-of-thousands if not millions. It is just NOT the same at all.
