That’s my point. It’s fine to give an approximate of what you may want to accomplish in three years or where you want to be but forcing say, at two years and holding an executive absolutely accountable leads to bad deals like signing vets to seven year deals going all in, just to save their skin. You have a good discussion leading up to that on where they are and if within reason give leeway to do it right. Cowboys like Burke and Treliving understand the corporate world and try and sell ownership by fast tracking and ultimately it fails. Good organizations can have honest discussions. St. Louis could’ve ultimately fallen into the same trap as us this year but decided to sell off assets because they realized they weren’t where they needed and they needed a core shakeup.
