I understand the sentiment, and I understand many are hopeful a Lindholm (and others) force Conny's hand on a rebuild.
But I really don't get the indecision is the answer point, cut bait. I agree, we need a deadline, to optimize the move, and if Lindholm doesn't make his mind up by then Conny needs to act like it's a no (avoid the Johnny situation). But I don't really understand the sentiment that if he really wanted to be here he'd have said yes by now. This is a business and career decision for Lindholm, that also obviously impacts his personal life.
It's not the same as a asking your partner to marry you and they say let me think about it. When that happens, you need to read between the lines and move on. Lindholm should be thinking this through, and and the lack of an immediate jump to yes from him IMO says nothing about whether signing him is a good idea or not, or about his commitment to the team. It highlights there is a lot of moving parts and things for him to think about with this decision, including: do I think we can win here, do I want to live here for 8 more years, do I like the org, is the money and term right, etc...
You need to give him a deadline that works for the team, but he should also be taking some time with this decision. Him having indecision that might need coaxing is not a bad thing..........until you let it go too long ala Johnny
