Cincinnati's Jones Tackling Familiar Role

Filed under: Cincinnati, Big East, CoachingNEWPORT, R.I. -- Cincinnati football coach Butch Jones doesn't immediately stand out, and that's OK. As the man tasked with inheriting perhaps the most well-regarded team in Bearcat history, he has the unfortunate distinction of being "the guy following the guy." You know, like the folks tasked with following Lincoln, Churchill, Caesar, Armstrong, Collins, Aldrin and, some day, Paterno.

Alright so maybe the task isn't that significant, but it is essentially a no-win challenge that Jones is unusually well-suited for. This actually happens to be his second go-round taking over programs washed, buffed and waxed by Notre Dame's new coach, Brian Kelly. Many years before, Jones was even the graduate assistant hired at Rutgers to replace a young Greg Schiano. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Commentsstott pilates ccm hockey long beach island
