Since Tomlin apparently does not let Butler do that and has been more involved since LeBeau quit
I am not so sure
Unless Tomlin was concerned Butler was too committed to LeBeau schemes that the league had figured out and will no longer be so involved with Butler’s successor
Which raises another question - was the only coordinator Tomlin was primarily responsible for being hired/promoted Arians (an in house promotion after Whisenhunt went as HC to Arizona)?
Tomlin was told in his interview LeBeau was staying
AJRII fired Arians and then Coach Todd was interviewed due to family ties to the organization
Butler promised LeBeau’s job when he had other DC offers and stayed
Ben prime mover on Coach Todd being hired and Fichtner promoted
