A month? Quite frankly Dallas does not have that much time to spare. The plans have to be well in progress right now and connections also need to be happening. I don't think it is possible to bring someone in 3 weeks from now and have him hire a coach, develop an offseason plan, and execute the plan in that short time period. In honesty, it probably leads to a big mess if they wait 3-4 weeks to hire someone. Also, with all the leaks recently, I imagine there will be plenty of scouts and front office people who will continue to leak stuff this summer.
The correct answer is still that you don't do *anything* regarding free agency/the draft/trades until the new guy comes in. He needs a blank slate. But you all are correct - the hire needs to take place within 6 days (the one week clock started yesterday) and we are progressively screwed with any days beyond that that the hiring process takes.
