Butch Jones has decided to bring in the big gun for his next contract negotiation at Tennessee — or elsewhere. The Volunteers’ coach confirmed Friday that he now will be represented by über-agent Jimmy Sexton.
“That’s something that happens in this business,” Jones said, as per 247Sports.com.
Jones previously was represented by Trace Armstrong, a former longtime NFL player who is a Florida alum.
Sexton is a Tennessee alum and has numerous clients with SEC ties, including Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning. He also represents Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher.
