It wouldn't be a bad time to make the change. Recruiting class is mostly done (we might lose one or two but would've probably lost more if we change after the egg bowl). Coaching conference is right around the corner so it's a good time to put together a staff.
Also- it's not uncommon for the NFL to hire college coaches around this time and it essentially starts a second hiring season. People like Mark Helfrich just became available if we were looking at an OC for example.
