On December 7, 2015, a mere week after winning the 2015 Grey Cup, it was announced that Jones would be the new general manager and head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

After a disappointing 3–15 season in 2015 Jones took over in 2016 and things got off to a poor start, as the team won only one of their first 11 games.
