I would say thats an incredibly accurate statement. One coach that I knew quite well left for this reason. He was very happy at UT but couldnt stand Butch.
Also, to add to the conversation... Coach brooks told me that he gave butch 4 things to make sure to do abd not do against GT. He didn't listen to any of them.... You see how that played out...
My brother is close with coach Z and his family. Tbh, I think the only reason he hung on so long here was because they loved Knoxville, definitely not Butch. He kept getting raises and his family was happy.
Iirc, the story at the time was he was banging some girl a lot younger than him and kept trying to bring her to functions and it was making people uncomfortable.
