Former Alabama football star Christion Jones named Paul W. Bryant’s head football coach
Former Alabama football player Christion Jones was named the new head football coach at Paul W. Bryant High School on Friday, the school announced on X, formerly Twitter.
Jones replaces coach John McKenzie, who led the Stampede to a 3-7 mark in 2023 during his one season with the program. It was announced last week that McKenzie was named the head coach at Vigor, returning to the Wolves program after leading them to a state championship in 2021 before being placed on administrative leave for undisclosed reasons.
Jones joins the Stampede program after coaching special teams and track and field at Central on coach Demario Pippen’s staff. Jones is a former college football player at the University of Alabama, playing for the Crimson Tide and coach Nick Saban from 2011-2014. The Adamsville, Alabama native served a punt returner and wide receiver for the Crimson Tide, earning SEC Special Teams Player of the Year honors in 2013. He also is a two-time BCS National Champion (2012, 2013) during his career at Alabama.
After his college career, Jones was a practice squad member for the Miami Dolphins before playing in the Canadian Football League for Toronto, Saskatchewan and Edmonton.
Jones becomes the seventh head coach in Stampede program history. He will be looking to lead Paul W. Bryant to its first winning season and playoff bid since the 2019 season.
Jones will be making his coaching debut on Aug. 23 when the Stampede host Percy Julian.
