Butch Jones is literally everywhere these days.
Jones wasted no time after finishing up with the SEC’s annual meetings in Destin, FL. According to the official Twitter account of Tennessee football, he took part in a photo-shoot with Coca-Cola this morning.

Butch Jones has spoke a lot in his first six months as head coach of the Vols, about the “brand of Tennessee”. There’s no doubt that this will further Tennessee’s exposure, even more into the national market.
A photo-shoot for a soft drink company may seem like a small thing, but in the world of SEC football you have to get an edge anyway you possibly can. While I doubt Butch Jones is doing this to get an edge, it definitely doesn’t hurt.
Earlier this year Coke Zero aired a commercial that payed tribute to Nick Saban and his three national titles at Alabama.
Certainly Vol fans hope that it won’t be long before Coke Zero is paying tribute to Butch Jones and Tennessee, after winning a championship…….or two.
