LOOK: Albert Haynesworth rips Butch Jones for celebrating Alabama’s win over Tennessee

Butch Jones was on the sidelines in Neyland Stadium for his sixth straight Third Saturday in October rivalry game. This time, he got to celebrate.
Alabama players smoked victory cigars with Jones in the locker room and gave him a Gatorade bath on the field. Jones, after all, is on the Alabama staff. After being fired by Tennessee, he took a position at UA that Nick Saban once described as an “intern” role.
Jones celebrating the 58-21 Alabama win is not sitting well with Albert Haynesworth. The Tennessee defensive lineman tore into the ex-UT coach on Twitter:
@CoachButchJones I mean @AlabamaFTBL won against a team YOU put together! But you’re smoking a cigar like you accomplished something?!?! You act like you called the plays or had something to do with the game plan for them. Does the player next to you even know your name Lyle? pic.twitter.com/kLeyuGY4sD
