Although everyone denied it after the fact, I think it's pretty clear that the reports from the summer that Rogers was going to dump him were true and he used whatever influence he still had left to force them to keep him.
This is the convenient opportunity they've been waiting for ever since then to do what they wanted to do months ago.
It might take them a couple of weeks/months to make the switch, but I'm sure everyone planned for Burke to take over the Coach's Corner slot from the beginning. If not soon, I'd bet that Burke will be in that role by the start of the playoffs at the latest.
