While it appears as if it’s just a matter of time until Butch Jones officially is announced as part of Alabama’s staff, many can do nothing but scratch their head in wonderment.
What could Jones possibly bring of value to the Crimson Tide? I’ve heard it suggested that he could be helpful as a recruiter. But it appears as if Jones will be an offensive analyst, which means he can’t recruit off campus. Maybe he has some relationships that could help Alabama, but his reputation as a selfish taskmaster likely will trump those connections.
Jones could help Nick Saban and his staff with some spread-option principles.
