I imagine he could be great in a role as an assistant. This seems like exactly the type of move Saban would make though. An ex head coach who sucked as a head but excels at an aspect of coaching. Put him on the staff and let him do what he knows best.

He failed because he was too afraid of failure. I think the pressure got to him. He seemed to weak mentally, the guy consistently made excuses for possibly losing a game before every big game (too young, first time flying, a lot of injuries).
A lot with Butch was mental. He never took risks, and always played it too safe. He should have thrown the clip board down and used common sense more.
The greatest coaches, the guys that win big arent afraid of the moment, and they most definitely arent afraid to fail.
Look at Les Miles Career, heck Saban started a true freshman QB after halftime in the Championship game over his proven guy that got them there and had only lost 2 games in his career. Would Butch have done that? Absolutely not. The guy wouldnt even start Kamara over Hurd.
UPDATE: Butch interviewing for Analyst Role.
He would probably be a pretty good hire for something like that. He knows a pretty good bit about football i think. I think his failures at Tennessee are more related to his ibability to manage people and it spiraled out of control. Couple that with his ego and attempts to control any narrative and it was a complete disaster. But he did show some ability to coach football if he wasnt forced go make quick decisions.
