WATCH: Butch Jones back in Neyland Stadium for first time after being fired

Butch Jones is back at Neyland Stadium.

As everyone is well aware, the former Tennessee head coach is now an analyst (or intern, per Nick Saban) on the Alabama coaching staff. Though it’s not an “on-field” staff position, Jones is part of the Crimson Tide travel crew.

He arrived on Rocky Top along with the rest of the UA staff Saturday ahead of the Alabama-Tennessee game. The Third Saturday in October rivalry game is set for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff and will air on CBS.

Plenty of jokes will be made, but this is obviously an emotional day for Jones and presumably many of the Tennessee players he recruited.
