Mitch, Smoot, Pierce, etc.). Leaving Williams and Fassel hanging is no way to conduct a search. If he was serious about McDaniel and Spagnuolo, he should have put off interviewing others until the week of the Super Bowl. The current coaching staff is being left in limbo for close to a month. I wouldn't blame Williams if he eventually got the offer then told Danny to take his job and shove it.

How else can he go about it? He couldn't put off interviewing other candidates in the meantime because until just recently there were other HC openings around the league.

I see this as him conducting a thorough search of all possible candidates. Why hire someone now when someone like Spagnola or McDaniels are still possible candidates?

I know everyone wants to view this as a disaster, but if you look at the other side of it maybe he just wants to make the best possible decision and he's in no rush to do so. Perhaps his downfall is he's being too patient.
