Yah, Butchna, I don't think I've gotten carried away (and I know Kristy hasn't).
I'm a huge student of leadership. Been practicing it all my adult life. Like anything you do as a professional, you never stop learning, never stop studying it. So if I'm at fault in this thread, it's the fault of wanting to look closely at Butch's current leadership dilemma, wondering about the shape and extent of it, and being curious about how he and his cadre of leaders (both coaches and upperclassmen) respond to it.
I am intensely curious, in this way. And it does go beyond even wanting the best for the Vols (though that is 100% true, for me and just about everyone else on these boards).
*shrug* if studying leadership challenges isn't your thing, I'm all for you ignoring this thread (this is a general "you" at this point, Butchna, not you specifically). I'm just watching and wondering and learning, while hoping for the best for the team.
