That's a possibility. Another possibility is that soon after the season the entire coaching staff is let go. All Burke has said so far is that the current staff will remain until the end of the season and after that all bets are off. He's not a guy that would drag things out if he didn't want the current staff going forward as he would want them to have ample opportunity to find employment. Nothing would surprise me but a lot will have to do with the incoming GM. If he has a guy in mind he wants to go with then he's going to go with that guy.
