Burke rumors - any truth?
- Thread starter BoilerStutz
- Start date
It was posted by a fan, not hammer and rails, so I doubt there's any truth to it.
The logic is likely sound. Who knows about the source.
Would expect there to be concern about Burke hiring another coach.
Therefore, if we were going to make a coaching change, Burke would need to "retire". He most certainly would still get paid in that scenario.
As a result the $6.6M for DH would be more as it would need to include the amount to pay off Burke as well.
Therefore. Wait until Burke retires. And make it the new persons problem.

I always figure the best way to get rid of Burke is a demotion by promotion. If that makes sense. More money, better title, for a less important job. As a Chicago fan it was seen with GMs Kenny Williams and John Paxon. They were promoted to VP and new GMs were hired to make decisions.
Just read the first sentence. Hearing from THE PLAYERS that this is happening? The players would literally be the last ones to know this type of thing.
