Remember when Lee Moon came to UW? He immediately began firing and hiring “his” people. That went over like a sack of dead babies.I think signaling that the entire athletic department is not measuring up (meaning TB is canned) is far preferable to firing coaches as one offs. The General could send a loud message that cuts across all departments, sports and divisions (from admin to each sport to construction management to CJC, etc.) that what we have seen the past 5 years (and longer) is not acceptable. The only other idea is to get rid of both Burman and Welniak and say that the "good ol boys" no longer run the show both within and outside the organizations.
I remember that but I feel like some of his hires are still at UW.....Burman was oneRemember when Lee Moon came to UW? He immediately began firing and hiring “his” people. That went over like a sack of dead babies.

Burmans contract is available online. I already posted it on here before. There’s no penalty provision in excess of the total amount due.Not sure what is in his contract provisions. He probably has a $10M payout if he is let go prior to his June 2027 date. Remember that extension was done in total secret. Reeves could tell him to sit at home since the money is already spent on Burman.
OR Reeves fires the coach to send a message to the Athletic Department as a whole putting them on notice
I'd rather Sawvel just be successful because any buyouts affect other sports, specifically non-revenue, that could use the buyout money in their programs

I’m skeptical on this. It doesn’t make sense unless Burman is fired simultaneously and I just don’t see the BoT allowing that to happen as opposed to Burman serving out his time until June 2027.I had heard from a fairly good source that if we had lost yesterday, Sawful would've been fired. Can anyone with better connections confirm? I highly doubt that we'd run back the Sawful show and can the guy two games in - and it's not Burman's way. Candidly, there would be very little gained to fire JS now. The interesting play would be for the General to fire Burman and start a new search now. It would send a huge message that what he is rolling out is not acceptable.
You are probably right. Not sure if the new blood on the board would go for that. Though four have expiring terms in 2027.I’m skeptical on this.
