I think Butch is just taking his time and trying to do this process the right way (i.e. not rushing and hiring someone just because). I think he wants to find the right fit for this team and someone he can work with.
Honestly, and again it's just my gut, but I think the whole thing with DeBord has just been a case of the media jumping the gun because the only person who knows what's going on is Butch and presumably Hart. I think DeBord was probably here more as a resource for Butch to help figure out who to hire. I think he had DeBord meet with some of the guys to try and do a little self scouting...an outsiders perspective on where guys like Dobbs and North are at. You don't bring in a candidate and allow him to meet your team if you're interviewing other candidates.
