New DC

He liked what we have done for the last 2 years......with a guy who isn't here anymore.  I don't really believe all the stuff about "sitting DC's showing a ton of interest" and "interviewed 5 or 6 people".  I don't think they were true interviews, and he had a plan all along.   It would be refreshing if he would just say that and stop blowing smoke up our bonnets. 
Yeah, that was a strange comment given that Butler was only here for one of those two years, and he coached the weakest part of our defense.  Whether or not that was Butler's fault is debatable (we clearly had personnel issues with our secondary), but that phrasing doesn't really make sense.

Fwiw sometimes that stuff isn’t for us fans but for agents, other coaches, etc. It’s like when Moos said he had a bunch of interest when we all knew he had to hire Frost or leave town. But you give Frost’s agent all the leverage and more if you come out and say that lol. Making the hiring process sound competitive and like Butler rose above the other candidates helps bring us better position coaching candidates, analysts, that kind of thing. But I do understand your point.

 
I will say. The butler hire doesn’t get me super enthused but Rhule has hired two former DCs to help out there. He is at least giving him coaching pieces to help rely on. 
 

would 1000% take that UCF NT.
