Butch Jones certainly has his ties to the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Whether it is his time in Tuscaloosa under coach Nick Saban, a person he calls the most “disciplined individual on this planet, or his relationship with former Tide quarterback Mac Jones, a person he calls a self-made man, the Arkansas State coach took plenty from his time with the Tide.
