Former Vols head coach Butch Jones turns to Nick Saban to revive career

Not winning a national championship or losing to Auburn both stand at the top for things that frustrate Crimson Tide football fans, however, a new category might be added to the list after seeing a certain former head coach appear at the University of Alabama on Wednesday.

Lyle “Butch” Jones, former University of Tennessee head coach, was spotted wearing an Alabama shirt during the school’s annual Pro Day. After a disappointing 4-7 season got him booted from the Volunteers in 2017, rumors sparked about conversations on Nick Saban being “interested” in bringing Jones on his coaching staff to serve as an off-field offensive analyst.
