With the 6 months thing, I always just got the impression that a few weeks after Daisy left (so like early July), Mack and Coulson began doing journeys on the Zephyr to go and try to apprehend her. They'd start off maybe going for two weeks at a time, and they would map her reported sightings as they went. This went on for months, with Mack and Coulson disappearing for a couple of weeks at a time. Because of this, Coulson began to express his interest in resigning as director, around September, and Talbot began looking for a suitable replacement. Project Patriot was started up, and Mace became involved, going through the experiment in late October. Meanwhile, Mack and Coulson keep going on trips for two-three weeks, increasing a little. Mace was appointed around early December. This then allowed Coulson the freedom to do a longer outing, not needing to be around so much. Him and Mack left on December 13th for their longest trip yet, testing the limits of the Zephyr, to go for weeks and weeks on a thorough hunt for Daisy. They get back after 6(.5) weeks, and Fitz and Simmons are excited to see them, with Fitz saying something like "6 weeks - that's a record!" because Mack and Coulson have been pushing it further and further. The team has been seeing less and less of each other over the past 7 months because of things with Daisy, and then the new director taking over, and Coulson's spent 6 months with Mack on and off a plane, July to January.
