Reeks of desperation, not due diligence.

Reeks of preparation, not desperation.  This is an executive role, not flipping burgers at the local fast-food joint.  The time and effort that passed between the first interview and the second was almost certainly filled with preparation by Pederson and additional discussions with the jags organisation.  If Pederson had any sort of transformative agenda then he had a lot of prep work to do in order to present it.  There's no chance he was pottering around the garden triming roses and planting petunias.  He was assessing the roster, determining draft and FA approaches, pulling together his core team and preparing a second interview to present that vision.  One month to prepare that is pretty tight.
