Ok, so you went there.
In 1996, Parcells left after the Super Bowl to take the Jests job. There are those that believe that he did not give the Patriots, and by extension, RKK his best effort to win that game, because he was sore about having to draft Terry Glenn, who was at the top of his draft board. He wanted to go off the board, rendering his entire draft system useless, and RKK called him on it, which gave us the whole derogatory "she" comment regarding Glenn and, later on, the "you want me to cook the dinner, then let me buy the groceries" comment.
So this year, with have the Wickersham piece, where BB is sore that he's forced to trade Jimmy G, so he trades him for a bag of magic beans (don't kill me for the analogy, I know a 2nd can be a pretty good player), when he maybe could have gotten a higher pick elsewhere. Being PO'd about it, BB, cut from the Parcellian cloth, looks for a way to make a football decision to eff the team to deny RKK the championship. So an opportunity presents itself thru MB's transgression of missed charter/cleaned out locker/ late to Minneapolis/ weed-after-curfew-with-law-enforcement-involvement or (insert other rumor here), and he benches Butler, causing everyone else to move around, play essentially out of position, and they can't stop the Eagles once. They go on to lose the game, and, once again, RKK's meddling in football affairs causes them to lose a Super Bowl. BB leaves town, leaving RKK with no coaching staff, a mess in the locker room, and an old man for a QB.
Or... MB broke team rules, BB has to bench him. Chaos ensues as the staff has to scramble to repair the damage last minute, and they lose.
I have a problem with all my scenarios proposed. BB coached LT for years, and we know LT was a mess and everyone covered for him. Different times, to be sure, but still, they covered for him. The plain old benching doesn't make sense to me either, as BB is the king of adjustments. Why not simply say, ya, I know we said this guy is benched, but we know he's leaving after tonight. Let's get his ass in the game and try to win it, and then ship him.
I dunno. It's a mess, and I don't know how they are gonna fix this.
