That's what they did with Shy Meyer and John Wickham. Interestingly, Meyer wanted to change the system and got only a few things done; Wickham wanted to change the culture and got most of his ideas through. Partly a function of the size of the bites of the elephant each elected to take.
Ah hah, potential subjects of reseach! Thanks.

True but I see some signs of that top cover and believe we have a window.
I agree that there is currently a window of opportunity. Time will tell who steps through the window (or is pushed through - positive defenestration? ) and who they are able to carry with them.

I'm doing my best to support it but I am running out of Newts to boil. And straight pins...
I for one am rooting for ya to 'defenestrate' a few.
