Breaking: Butch Jones gets a huge promotion

Some very important news out of Tuscaloosa tonight, as Butch Jones has earned a well deserved promotion:

As is the case with so many happenings around the Alabama program, there is more to this story than meets the eye.

Sources tell Roll Bama Roll that Jones has had a somewhat contentious relationship with offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian. In fact, some would say that Sark has been downright mean to Jones, constantly pulling pranks on him. We’re talking ruthless stuff here: from molding Jello around Butch’s stapler to moving Butch’s desk into the men’s room, even one day talking the vending machine guy into putting all of Butch’s personal effects into the machine for purchase.
