Jason Jones, a 20-plus year coaching veteran with extensive experience in the secondary, returns to the University of Alabama as the assistant defensive backs coach. Coach DeBoer expressed excitement over Jones's proven track record and knowledge of the university. Jones, who played and coached at Alabama previously, shared his gratitude for the opportunity and eagerness to contribute to the Crimson Tide.
University of Alabama head football coach Kalen DeBoer officially announced the hiring of Jason Jones on Friday. Jones will hold the title of assistant defensive backs coach while with the Crimson Tide.
“The University of Alabama and Tuscaloosa are special places to me,” said Jones. “My coaching career started here as a graduate assistant, and to be able to come home and coach at your alma mater is truly a blessing. I am so thankful to Coach DeBoer for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this great staff, and I am excited to be back. I can’t wait to get to work.”
Jones spent six seasons at Ole Miss from 2013-18 where he served as co-defensive coordinator with a focus on the Rebels’ secondary unit. His 2015 group tallied four pick-sixes to tie the OM single-season mark that dated back to 1938. Ole Miss finished that campaign ranked second in the SEC with 15 interceptions and third in the league with 23 total turnovers.
