Butch Jones' Alabama salary revealed, but its only fraction of actual income

At first glance, Butch Jones salary at Alabama is notable.

Recently hired as an analyst, the former Tennessee head coach will be paid $35,000 a year, according to the response to an open records request filed with the university. That puts him on the same level as most other who hold the staff-level position.

It, however, represents just a fraction of the income Jones brings in.

His firing from Tennessee last November came with a buyout of $8.2 million. Paid monthly, it works out to checks in the range of $200,000 or $2.4 million a year.
