Butch Jones met with former players, received a Gatorade bath, smoked a cigar in the locker room and celebrated being on the winning side of the Alabama-Tennessee rivalry for the first time on Saturday.
Jones, who coached the Vols from 2013-17, is currently an offensive analyst for the Crimson Tide.
Alabama won its 12th straight meeting over Tennessee, and this time, Jones experienced a victory on the “Third Saturday in October.”
After the game, as Jones was meeting with several Vols players whom he used to coach, the former Tennessee coach was followed by an AL.com camera. Watch the video below to see how Jones immediately celebrated the Crimson Tide’s win, along with his interactions with members of the Vols:
While Jones’ role with the Crimson Tide isn’t as large as his previous job with the Vols, it likely had to feel good for him to beat his former school and smoke a celebratory cigar.
