Travis Jones Biography :

Now in his third season as an NFL assistant, Travis Jones was named to the Dolphins’ coaching staff on January 19, 2005.

In his first year with the Dolphins in 2005, Jones assisted with a defensive line that was responsible for 35 of the team’s 49 sacks and the unit helped to hold opponents to a 3.7-yard average per rush attempt, the fourth-best figure in the AFC.

Prior to joining the Dolphins, Jones spent the previous two seasons (2003-04) at LSU where he was the Tigers’ defensive line coach/recruiting coordinator both years. In Jones’ first season in Baton Rouge, the Tigers’ defensive front recorded 31 of the team’s school-record 44 sacks, while also limiting opponents to 67 yards rushing per game, a figure that ranked first in the SEC and third nationally. Defensive tackle Chad Lavalais was a consensus All-American and a finalist for the Nagurski and Lombardi Awards. Lavalais was named National Defensive Player of the Year by the Sporting News and SEC Defensive Player of the Year by the league's coaches. Following the 2003 season, Lavalais and defensive end Marquise Hill were both selected in the NFL Draft. Defensive end Marcus Spears was named First-Team All-SEC in 2003 by the Associated Press and was a consensus All-America pick in 2004 as he registered nine sacks that year, tied for the fourth-highest single-season total in school history and the most since 1995. Spears was a first-round draft choice of Dallas in 2005.

Prior to his stint at LSU, Jones served as a member of the Kansas coaching staff for two years (2001-02), where he worked with the Jayhawks’ defensive linemen. While there, he tutored defensive tackle Nate Dwyer, a first-team All-Big 12 selection in 2001, who also was a fourth-round draft choice of Arizona in 2002. That was preceded by a three-year stint as linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator at Appalachian State (1998-2000). Jones began his coaching career at his alma mater, the University of Georgia, as a graduate assistant in 1997 where he worked with the defensive line, which included a pair of freshmen in Richard Seymour and Marcus Stroud. Jones was a four-year letterwinner (1990-92, 94) as a defensive lineman for the Bulldogs and served as a defensive captain in his final year before graduating in 1995. He also earned a master’s degree from the school in 1998.

Jones played one season with the Baltimore Stallions of the Canadian Football League in 1995 and then joined the Florida Bobcats of the Arena League in 1996.

A native of Irwinton, Ga., Jones and his wife, Melody, have two daughters, Kennedi and Avery.
