BREAKING Butch Jones named Arkansas State head coach

[GrayTide]

That is great for Butch Jones. He realized he needed some different insight to being a HC. I think he will do well at Arkansas State.

Good Luck Butch! Arkansas State needs more Champions of
Life!

Good for him. He’s proven to be a decent coach at the G5 schools

He coaches his players to become Champions of Life.

 

[Ole Man Dan]

Butch will be able to take some kind of version of our Offense and Defense. Butch is a pretty good coach, and now he has insight on how the best coaches run their programs. I wish him success.

Congrats Butch and good luck. Also, thanks for taking all the tennessee money you could get.

 

[Tug Tide]

Good luck Coach Jones.
Please wash and wax the Benz one more time before you leave

He seems active with the players. Many times he’s giving them encouragement when they need it. That’s a skill set not everyone has. He’s a former Vol Coach but a current Bama fan. He can’t be too bad.

Congratulations and good luck to Coach Jones.

Due to recruiting, I assume(?) he'll leave sooner rather than later. I hope his departure doesn't create any problems for Bama's defensive coaching these next few weeks...

Every time someone scores you see a shot of him congratulating them when they get back to the sideline.

I believe the players have responded very positively to CBJ. He appeared to be very involved on the sidelines with every game. It seems that everyone from CNS to the players will miss his presence but wish him much success at Arkansas State.

Good luck, Coach.

 

[BamaDMD]

Good luck Coach Jones.

 

[CoolBreeze]

Good for Jones. State is a good program and a great place for him to rekindle his career.

 

[FaninLA]

Congratulations, Coach Jones! Wish my alma mater, South Alabama, had hired you!

 

[Saban4Ever]

I am happy for him but wish he would stay. The players seem to really like him. Below is a link to a good article about Butch Jones and some nice comments he made about Saban, Miss Terry, and Bama. RTR

I thought he worked with WRs.

I thought he worked with WRs.

Ah! Dunno why I assumed he worked with the D. Sooo... I hope his departure doesn't create any problems for the WR unit...

Ah! Dunno why I assumed he worked with the D. Sooo... I hope his departure doesn't create any problems for the WR unit...

He hasn't coached players this year...special assistant to CNS. I assumed they were preparing for this and also lightening CNS administrative load.

 

[Krymsonman]

Congrats to Coach Jones. I wish you much success in your new spot.

Gee, does this open a spot in the recovery room for Gus?

Congratulations Coach Jones! Thank you for your contributions to the Alabama Football Program. CNS spoke favorably of you several times...and I don’t think he gives those favorable reviews away to just any body. And finally, thank you for making Finebaum look like the fool he is by referring to you disparagingly. Very best of luck in the future Coach.
