How much of this is public record and how much of this is speculation? Was there a press conference where Bohl talked about this discussion with TB?

My sense is we are all on the outside here and looking at an incomplete puzzle without the full picture. We don't know why TB did what he did, we just know the result and then some folks try to fit what we see with a narrative.

For me, I'm a compete athletic department outsider who is looking at results.....TB hires bad coaches so he hired a bad coach...pretty much fits what I've seen from him. I don't know why he does what he does so I don't traffic in that.

For some, TB has a purpose on this earth to destroy UW athletics and every seemingly bad decision is actually a resounding personal success in his dastardly mission.

All I have is circumstantial evidence and hearsay. Fairly compelling - but none of it direct.

Thanks, I think it's enough to fire Burman just from what we know. All of what you are claiming could be 100% true and none of it would be needed for me to move on from him. Maybe he just legitimately thought Sawful and Glenn and DC and Edwards and Schroyer were going to be a good coaches....if that's the case then send him packing. Anything else is just window dressing.

IMO:

Bohl to Sawful = Shyatt to Edwards

Both formers had sons in well placed assistant positions and it seemed very prearranged from my recliner.

The most telling thing with Sawful was immediately naming Svoboda as the starter because CB said to do it without any further examination of recruiting needs. The previously referenced blind monkey would have known that was not the best move in order to put a strong offense on the field based on the style Sawful hired his OC to implement.

Now there's some strawman arguments, lol.

I actually think prior to PBJ, TB made decent hire decisions. I remember wanting Thedford but Bohl made a lot of sense. I remember thinking no way we land DC but he did, regretfully.

Coincidence is a term used when we can't see the levers and pulleys.

He fired Glenn. He only hired DC and Bohl. Both were reasonable hires after proper searches.

I think he would have made a reasonable hire this round if it weren't for other circumstances.

Apologies for the hyperbole....I tried to make it obviously tongue -in-cheek and failed.

Thanks for the clarification on Glen. Didn't TB hire Schroyer and Edwards? Also.... Don't care if DC was a reasonable hire. Bad coach. I'll take an unreasonable hire that is a good coach any day. I'm very surprised that you of all people had hope that a hiring by TB was going to work out.
