Like others have already said, he has his father and Billy Lee that are his mentors. There's coaches that look like they need or could benefit from something like that, but I think at this point it would be colossally dumb to place any sort of restraints on Burke if we were to give him the job.

If he gets the job there is no guarantee the assistants stay. His assistants each have a specialty, if one or both left, he'd have to find someone to replace them. Don't forget, the HC usually has 3 assistants, he only has two right now so could possibly need to find 3.

If Burke gets the job, he'll be looking at the market for at least one assistant. Also, with the other 2 being UNC guys, you have to wonder if they'll be looking to go to a job with those ties. Those are things that Jimmy will have to consider while interviewing Burke. I'm sure Burke has some people in mind to bring on his staff.

Based on nothing other than my own perception, I think Lynch will be promoted and Esleeck will stay if Burke is hired. The only one I could see leaving is Manuel, but I don't really see any UNC ties being a strong draw (unless Miller gets a P5 job).

Both Esleeck and Manuel are in their mid-30s with young families. As inherent as moving around is within the profession, there has to be significant appeal to stay and start fresh with a "new" HC.
