Saturday was a good day for Alabama analyst Butch Jones, who used to coach Tennessee but was finally on the winning side of the annual rivalry game.
In fact, after the Tide clinched the 58-21 victory, Jones got a Gatorade bath from happy Alabama players.
As you can see in the video below, shared by AL.com on YouTube, Nick Saban enjoyed seeing Jones so happy after the game, crediting him for helping the Alabama program.
“It was good to see Butch Jones get dumped on,” Saban said, drawing a laugh from reporters. “I know he was happy, and he’s done a great job for us and we really appreciate the things he’s done to help our program.”
Jones finally got to smoke a cigar, and he made sure to make the most of it.
