Here's how I see this process going down:
1. Bohn and crew (Neinas?) spent the last 6 months contacting directly or through back-channels the people they have interest in to see who has mutual interest and what their availability/contract situation may be.
2. Bohn has a long discussion with the committee to outline what he thinks are important questions and qualifications, who he thinks would be a god fit and has expressed some form of mutual interest, and tells them what he thinks it would cost to make a deal.
3. The committee does it's own due diligence and interviews the candidaates identified by Bohn and maybe 1 or 2 others to cover their bases.
4. After interviews are completed, Bohn offers who he would be willing to hire, the committee nominates that coach and Bohn makes the best deal he can with their top guy.
I have no idea if this is accurate, but that's how I imagine this going down.
I hear Neinas isn't involved.
I don't doubt that the search has been on going for quite a while.
