I'll be honest, I didn't know who Bajakian was when he was hired, and I didn't know who DeBord was when his name started popping up. But after looking at his resume, he looks like he has some real good experience/track record and the fact that Butch brought him to Knoxville so quickly means he thinks really highly of him. I'll be pretty comfortable if he turns out to be the guy.

Butch wants to keep his job more than anything, so if he hires this guy over any of the other candidates (except Norvell, where money is a big issue), it means that he is the best candidate available.
