It seems like at this point the team isn't responding to Wilson's system and coaching; when that happens, it's easier to change the coach and try to motivate the team with fresh blood instead of continuing to spiral downward.
Burke is very loyal to "his guys" (to a fault at times) though, so I don't expect that to happen anytime soon.

thats the problem... wilson is burkes buddy and they are both too proud to admit that what they are doing isn't working... wilson should be fired already.. and if burke doesn't make the move soon, he should be replaced.. right now those two are the ones who brought all these new guys together, so its on them if it doesn't work.. sure they are stuck with kaberle.. but they aren't the only teams stuck with someone either..
They put everything riding on Kessel and Phaneuf... are either of those guys proven leaders? Can they be? haven't seen it yet...
