The former Tennessee head coach is entering his fourth season with the Red Wolves. Here's what he had to say about Michigan.
Former Central Michigan, Cincinnati, and Tennessee head coach, Butch Jones, is now in his fourth season as the head coach of Arkansas State. The Red Wolves are out to a 2-0 start after winning close games against Central Arkansas and Tulsa. Jones now has to go into Ann Arbor to face the defending national champions who are coming off of a crushing loss to Texas last weekend.
Jones was asked what makes Michigan a good football team. He spoke a little about the Wolverines' special teams and how sound they have been year-in-and-year-out. But then he spoke about the elite talent Michigan has on both sides of the ball and shouted out Donovan Edwards, specifically. Back when Jones was with Alabama as an assistant, he recruited Edwards and has familiarity with the senior running back.
“But they’re a good football team. There’s a reason why they won the national championship last year. They’ll be one of the premier teams in the Big Ten Conference. They’re well-coached; I have a lot of respect for their coaching staff and what they do. Michigan running back Donovan Edwards runs for a first down against Texas during the first half at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor on Saturday, September 7, 2024. / Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK
