Plausible. Also more suited for the Butler thread where the rest of our own guesses were hashed out. I'd like to hear it from someone in the know for a change.To me the most likely story is pretty clear.
Butler was delayed getting to the SB because he was sick. He struggled all week in practice including “getting” the game plan. His pkay throughout the season was mediocre and Rowe after coming back from injury was pushing him for the job.
After a very difficult week B.B. decided Rowe moved ahead of butler and Rowe THAT WEEK with everything considered gave them a better chance to win. The game plan called for big nickel and dime (which is logical based upon the opponent) so the role for cb3 was going to be limited.
When butler was informed of this he melted down (we all saw it on tv) and the coach decided he wasn’t in the right frame of mind to be out on the field.
No conspiracy theory, no butler was a dlck, no grudges or retaliation or anything like that. No hard feelings. Just a player having a bad week and a game day melt down. I would assume B.B. spoke to vrabel and Robinson explained what happened that week, reported butlers overall attitude and work ethic for 4 years and recommended him.
Regards,
Chris
