Butch Jones:Chippewas coach Butch Jones will be named the next Cincinnati coach, three people briefed on the decision told ESPN.com’s Joe Schad on Tuesday. Jones will succeed Brian Kelly, who was hired by Notre Dame after leading the Bearcats to a 12-0 record this season.
Cincinnati is tapping into the Central Michigan pipeline again.
Kelly coached Central Michigan from 2004-06 before being hired by Cincinnati.
Jones is 26-13 in three seasons with Central Michigan. He led the Chippewas to an 11-2 mark and a berth in the GMAC Bowl this season.
