Former Tennessee Vols head coach Butch Jones goes viral for awkward reaction to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's enagement

Former Tennessee Vols head coach Butch Jones went semi-viral this week for his reaction to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's engagement to pop superstar Taylor Swift.

Jones, who is entering his fifth season as the head coach at Arkansas State, was Kelce's head coach at Cincinnati over a decade ago.

Shortly after Kelce and Swift announced their engagement, Jones met with reporters to preview Arkansas State's season-opener against Southeast Missouri State.

Jones revealed that he spoke to Kelce "last Friday", but the 10-time Pro Bowl tight end didn’t mention to his former head coach that he and Swift were engaged -- though Jones insinuated that Kelce was hinting at the news.

“I cannot answer any of the news that just broke about 20 minutes ago with Travis," said Jones. "I will tell you he called me, I believe it was last Friday on his way into work, and we talked about many things for a long period of time but we did not speak about that. He made some innuendos but I was so focused on our mock game and the Beanie Bowl that I didn’t put two and two together. But really, really happy for them and well deserved. I’m sure him and I will talk here hopefully in the next day or two.”
