Tennessee Tech defensive coordinator Greg Jones is expected to join the Austin Peay staff in the same capacity, sources told FootballScoop on Thursday.
Austin Peay head coach Jeff Faris parted ways with defensive coordinator Tripp Weaver, along with cornerbacks coach Khyle Jackson, last week.
Jones ran the defense for head coach Bobby Wilder, and together the new staff guided the Golden Eagles to a 7-5 mark and an Ohio Valley Conference co-championship in their first year in Cookeville.
Jones spent the 2023 season as the co-defensive coordinator at Gardner-Webb, and prior to that he cut his teeth over seven seasons in a variety of roles -- from offensive analyst to linebackers coach -- at Wake Forest from 2016-22.
Jones has also coached cornerbacks at Rhode Island, managed the entire secondary at Cornell, and served as the defensive coordinator at Division III Kenyon College.
