At one had, I felt a little sorry for Burman and Sawvel. But now, it is so obvious that they are hanging on (especially Sawvel) because they have contracts in place. They care more about money than delivering a quality product to UW. Or pride. On some levels, I understand it but I could not do it. So, any sympathy has turned to frustration and some anger. Sawvel must know without a iron clad contract...he'd be long gone. Two thoughts:
1) I think UW moves on even if either remains in place. Start the recruiting process right in front of the guys. Ask Burman to move his office to ready for the new AD. Let these guys know that its over but for the calendar rolling. Sawvel will never coach again...start the interview and ask him to participate.
2) While this is a little immature, I wish someone could have a shitty, plastic grade school trophy made to hand to Tom Burman as he leaves. Name it "The Jay Sawvel Excellence Award".
