I think it appears that way b/c of the social media/message boards. In reality, if someone offered you a new job but you'd have to move your family several states away you would likely ask for a couple of days to consider. I've ask for a weekend to consider before on a heckuva lot less than $4M. I've offered jobs to others before who asked for 2-3 days to consider. It's not that long, really. Just seems like it b/c of half a dozen threads about it and 24/7 posts about it in those threads.

You may be right about that. That said, I'd hope that Battle sent feelers out as soon as Grant was fired. It likely was nothing more than a quick call back then but that's often the way it works with these things. (Trust me, we Vol fans are pros at how coaching searches work. )
