Yes all well run departments take longer than three months to identify and hire someone when a key person leaves.  Eyes

I get it, though.  They have a lot on their plate and many of us are Men's basketball centric.  I would just think that they would make sure that the (probably) one program that makes them any money has everything done right.  Most of the stuff that people are complaining about doesn't even cost much or would be free in some cases.

I do sympathize with them.  The behind the scenes stuff is basically a thankless job and only gets mentioned when things go wrong.
