The reality is that a lot of employees love to talk about accountability and pay for performance until the nut cutting starts.
What happened to this level of expectation (from the RS Rocket Miner when TB hired Sawful)?:
Burman didn’t hesitate when asked about what his message was to his new head football coach Wednesday.
“Win a championship,” Burman said. “Do it with the right kind of people and in the right way, but let’s go win a championship.”
and
“We just have to find a way to move the needle slightly higher and get back into that Mountain West Conference championship game,” Burman said. “After thinking about it and visiting with coach Sawvel and kind of working my way through this, it was clear to me that the fastest way to do that was right here internally, because we had the best coach we could hire with Jay.
“To me, it was a relatively easy decision, but one I spent weeks pondering over. I’m excited with where we are, and I’m excited to win a bowl game and go from there.”
One other nugget:
“It’s like a (4x400) relay. (Bohl) ran the first three laps of it, and he’s handing me a baton with a couple hundred meters to go,” Sawvel said. “Everything’s in place for us to take steps and have great success and continue to build on what’s here. Now, we’ve got to do that.”
Everything is in place...so there is no excuse for what we are seeing right now. None.
