Did ownership want to hear the truth, or want to hear what they wanted to hear (we can make the playoffs then anything can happen)?
I blame Burke for setting the course way too early. I want to blame BT for not correcting course sooner, but I can't be sure whether he wanted to or not.

Yeah, I keep coming back to this as well. Part of my reluctance to see Treliving replaced is that I have no confidence that another GM will have either the will or the strength to convince ownership to change course. Based on what I have heard, Treliving has amassed a lot of good will with ownership, and I think that if anyone could convince them to start aggressively building through the draft, he is probably the guy to do it.
