Only one HC vacancy remained and that one was a foregone conclusion (Shanahan). It isn't only about the HC, though. The top assistants get locked in, too. If you wait until Jan 5 this year, Toub (or whoever) can start prepping to fill out their staff.
Also, if it is Toub, then the coordinators become even more important than usual because he isn't bringing an offensive or defensive system that he will install himself.
