My concern is that Burke is too involved with the program. Remember Hope's "futuristic recruiting plan"? That does not sound like a phrase Hope would use, and I always wondered if this was Burke's hairbrain idea. I watched IU play even with Michigan yesterday, and I was reminded of where many of the Indiana kids are playing college football after we decided to make Florida our home recruiting turf. That was one of the dumbest ideas Purdue football has come up with recently.
I think Burke likes these young coaches that he can "mentor". Part of the reason why Tiller and Burke struggled, is that Tiller kept him at arms length, as any competent coach should do.
