There's good and bad in each breed...I'm sure a guy could find a great pack of B&T's if that is what they want.
In my (limited) experience, my Black and Tan is the slowest dog, most trail oriented, not a lot of brains, but also has the best nose and is the most eager to please. He is not the best locater either. But I have dogs of other breeds that are also not excellent locaters. I think this is a trait that some folks really overlook. Or at least I did when starting out. I know some hunters are breeding for more track speed in their B&T's.

I have a B&T female that I use on bobcat lion and bears she has a good nose and will run with my walkers she is very aggressive in a fight and trees hard to. As slobberdoc said there is good and bad in every breed and IMO there is fast and slow dogs in every breed to .

.Yes you can make it work. Your northeastern hunters have used trail hounds to hunt bobcat and fox forever
