Jones looked like he was back having fun being part of the Bama program. Seems to interact well with the players. He was just ask to do more than he is capable of doing at Vileville. There are a whole bunch of people that cannot turn that dumpster fire around so it was not just on him.

Anyway best of luck to him.

Congrats to Jones

Don't be surprised if others join him.

Well.......that will open at least one slot and if others join him.......ie Charlie Strong, that means we can have Will Muschamp and Kevin Sumlin as analyst for us.

 

[bamatommy]

Good luck and thanks for helping the Tide the last three years.

Possibly one of the few people to leave the program without a ring ?

in hindsight he did the best job between Dooley, him and Pruitt so far

The rumors circulating last night about Karl Scott are very premature and I think very unlikely he'd move to Arkansas State.

I want to thank Butch Jones for serving at the University of Alabama. I didn’t think much of this hire but he certainly put the boys first and did a great job interacting and being a positive influence on them and for that...I thank you Mr. Jones!!!

I'd like to thank Tennessee boosters for keeping a roof over his head, keeping his family fed, and making it possible.

Good luck Butch!! I believe he will do well at the mid-major level. He was in over his head at UT. We will always have our pictures of him trolling the Viles.

 

[Bamabww]

Yeah, I wish him the best.
