is one of the most idiotic things I've ever seen. Oh, we gotta make Butch feel comfortable or he might bolt. So let's hire Blackburn to make Butch happy. I love Brent, but that's a pretty pathetic narrative to put out. If Butch is threatened by a powerful AD that he doesn't know then is he really the person we want leading our football program long term? If Butch wins, would an AD without UT ties really be a threat to Butch Jones? You can point to Blackburn's hires as reason why he'd be a good hire or his current resume, but the whole make Butch feel comfortable makes it out that Butch is going to cry if he doesn't get his way.
