Butch Jones will no longer be an analyst for Alabama.

The former Tennessee head coach will be shifting into a different role for the Crimson Tide.

His new title will be special assistant to the head coach, AL.com has learned.

While Jones has been a candidate for other jobs over the last couple years, including an assistant coach job at Maryland last year, the 52-year old is now entering his third season at Alabama.

Jones was an analyst for the Tide the last two seasons.

Jones is one of six former FBS head coaches currently on the Alabama staff along with offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, offensive line coach Kyle Flood and analysts Charlie Strong, Major Applewhite and Mike Stoops.
