My problem isn't with Burke. I don't know how many different ways I can say this. My problem is the ongoing cycle of bringing in a guy with a new direction/strategy.

I believe direction is organizational (Philaderlphia, Detroit, Nashville on a low budget, more recently St Louis).

What I am saying is, get the organizational direction established with the right president.

Then find a GM that fits the organization.

I don 't dislike Burke. I am simply saying that hiring a Burke is yet another attempt to spin the wheel and try yet another new collection of decisions. And in a few years, do it again.
