Just over 48 hours after Blake Anderson resigned, Arkansas State University secured its next head football coach.
Butch Jones -- the former Central Michigan, Cincinnati and Tennessee head coach -- was named the 31st head coach in program history Saturday night. The 52-year-old takes over the Red Wolves after three seasons as an assistant at Alabama. Across 11 seasons as a head coach, Jones carries a career record of 84-54 with four conference titles.
Jones, who most recently led Tennessee from 2013-17, replaces Anderson, who resigned Thursday
after seven seasons at ASU to take the same job at Utah State, which formally announced his hiring Saturday evening.
