Make no mistake, Burke is leading the team. There is absolutely zero chance someone that has differing philosophies will be hired. Whoever it will be, will be of the same philosophy and mind towards direction that Burke is.

No, we don't want a "yes" man, but Burke is the boss and he is hiring someone to handle aspects of the job that he is not as proficient in. You can absolutely book it that whoever gets hired, if at any point Burke issues an instruction, that instruction gets followed.
