So, I thought these comments were interesting, and if you read between the lines here a bit, he's sort of pointing to an ego issue/primadonna syndrome with Butler.
He never mentions Butler's name, which is telling, but that's clearly what the question was pertaining to.
This is also what I was talking about the other idea with BB adjusting from pure old school coach, to more of a hybrid style needing to adapt to the Millennials who are so into branding and promoting themselves, as opposed to just focusing on their job.
Obviously, if it doesn't interfere with the job at hand, BB could not care less. But, what if the chase of money, does?
I think Bulter rejecting NE's very generous contract offer is very telling, and the subsequent stuff that happened afterwards, meant BB did all he could to make it work, but Butler, at least mentally, could never get past not being guaranateed more money than was on the table:
