Cardinals to hire Jones as special teams coach

The Arizona Cardinals are expected to formally announce this week that they hired Amos Jones as their special teams coach, according to multiple reports.

Jones worked with new Cardinals coach Bruce Arians at Alabama during his career. Jones spent several years as a college assistant before spending a year in the Canadian Football League and then joining the Pittsburgh Steelers coaching staff in 2007.

Jones coached the Steelers special teams last season after the team fired Al Everest.
