Davis is coming off his first season as coach of the San Diego Riptide of arenafootball2, His team went 8-8 and tied for second-place in the league's West Division.
``He has been like a mentor to me, and I think our players will really respond to him,'' said Jones, who played for Davis at Portland State.
Davis and Jones also worked together on the coaching staffs of the Houston Gamblers (1984), and Denver Gold (1985) of the USFL and with the Detroit Lions (1989-90) and Atlanta Falcons (1994-96) in the NFL.
