Rob Clark was on with Andrew and Joe last evening [about 50 minutes into the podcast] and said that there could be a press conference as early as next week if the search for a new head coach and/or GM wraps up in the next couple of days.
Apparently Rob Clark has had a couple of fish wiggle off his hook already.
With hints that player signings could be coming soon, I would hope that a new head coach and/or GM would be in place before too many signings take place. Or, if he feels like he is pretty confident that he has the job(s) filled, perhaps he is getting any signings OK'd first.......
