A coach that worked under Nick Saban at LSU and with the Miami Dolphins is in the mix for Alabama's staff opening.

Travis Jones, who was most recently with the Seattle Seahawks, is a candidate for the Crimson Tide's defensive line coach job and is expected to interview at some point soon, according to sources.

Jones is currently unemployed after he and the Seahawks "mutually agreed" to part ways in late January. He was the team's defensive line coach from 2013-16 and then a senior defensive assistant last season.

The 45-year old was previously the New Orleans Saints' assistant defensive line coach from 2008-12 after working at LSU (2003-04) and with the Dolphins (2005-07).

Alabama has also had conversations with others regarding the defensive line job, including Los Angeles Chargers assistant defensive line coach Eric Henderson, per sources.

The 35-year old Henderson, a former first-team All-Conference defensive end at Georgia Tech, worked at Texas-San Antonio in 2016 with one of the Tide's new assistants, Pete Golding.

Alabama has been in the market for a defensive line coach since the Pittsburgh Steelers hired the Tide's previous defensive line coach, Karl Dunbar, Feb. 7.
