I watched that whole press conference last night, and I came away with the following:
Butch Jones. Holy cow is this guy Midwestern in the most amusing way. He has a "little saying" for everything. I like him, and I like his attitude. Thought his one mistake was the Peyton Manning anecdote, which must not have come off like he meant it. I probably wouldn't have mentioned Urban Meyer either. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing how he coaches. Based on his stats with his prior teams, I'm hopeful. If he can get Bray to make a smart decision in the next couple weeks, I'll be really impressed.
Dave Hart. This is what it looks like when a man hasn't slept in about a week and feelings of sick desperation have set in. I hope for his sake that he never has to run another coaching search. I felt bad for the man, but everyone in that room was clearly tired of him and this coaching circus. He tried to lead with several bits of ironic understatement, but I swear you could hear crickets chirping in the background. Keep this man away from the camera, especially in circumstances when morale is important.
