Not everyone on Hartman's team were "yes-men" back then.
You may indeed be right, but it's probably more of a factor that simply a lot of talent was poached from FOP as the show took off in its success. Bob Boyle went to CN and made some forgettable cartoons, Steve Marmel tried his hand in some other things, even wound up on Family Guy for a while, but now seems to be just be doing live action. Sarah Frost also ended up on Family Guy. Jack Thomas found his way to Regular Show. Scott Fellows churns out garbage for CN every once while. Even Kevin Sullivan, who made a lot of dubious quality episodes, jumped ship to the Loud House.
Hartman has been unable to fill in the blanks with quality talent. Ray Deluarentis and Will Schiffrin (who are on Bunsen) are mediocre on their best day.
It may be that Butch just prefers to surround himself with yes-men as you put it. From following his YouTube channel, he definitely seems like your usual 'ideas guy' but is not really skilled as a producer. So the biggest loss of talent in my opinion is when Butch moved away from Fred Seibert and his studio to strike out on his own.
